| Post subject: | MPEG-4 format differences: DVD transcode & TV transcode |
Hi; I've been experimenting a bit with the transcode functions of MythTV. I can Rip and transcode my DVDs very well (takes a long time, but the results are excellent). These MPEG-4 (XviD) files are playable on my Windows PC as well, which is what I want. The transcode that runs when you're watching a TV recording and press "X" doesn't work so well. There's no command line for it that I can see, only slider settings that I can't relate to. The resulting file, although it plays fine under TV/Watch Recordings, is squished horizontally if I copy the file to the /myth/video folder and play it with mplayer. That's not as big a deal as the fact that I can't play the resulting file on my Windows PC! I don't know whether the tv transcode is DivX or XviD or what... The other P**S-off is that it deleted the original after transcoding, so I can't go back and try again with other settings! I know now that it is a setting in mythtv-setup, but it really should have been part of the transcoding profiles options, not the initial setup. Moot point now, I guess... Anyway, quite a long rant, what my question really is, is how do I get the tv recordings transcode (the one activated by pressing "X" while watching a recording) to have the same settings as the "Rip DVD" transcode settings? -Andy. |
