[mythtv-users] nuvexport causes mythtranscode memory leak, swap file gone in secs

[Chris Germano]

Ok I did what you said, dl the new nuvexport and updated to latest cvs (all 
as of tonight). I just tried a divx out again and there is a definite memory 
leak in mythtranscode. Right when nuvexport starts encoding into divx, the 
mythtranscode threads start to eat away at my swap file. When nuvexport 
starts processing my 3500 frame or so it's down to a crawl because my swap 
file is completely full: mythtranscode 99% memory and my kswapd process goes 
nuts and uses up all my cpu power. lol What's going on? Is it mythtranscode, 
nuvexport or the encoders???

Mem:    515340k total,   512204k used,     3136k free,      468k buffers
Swap:   506008k total,   505500k used,      508k free,     5476k cached

The other issue is that my audio is still way off -- about 6 seconds before 
my video:
2003-09-29 18:20:27 Audio is 154ms ahead of video at # 3530
2003-09-29 18:20:45 Audio is 120ms ahead of video at # 3532bits/s
2003-09-29 18:20:50 Audio is 86ms ahead of video at # 3534kbits/s

I'm using btaudio to capture at 32000hz, but it sounds right, just not a/v 
synced, but one thing at a time lol. I also notice nuvexport likes to do 
things in PAL, um is that hardcoded into it since i'm NTSC?
