[mythtv-users] Re: Mythtv Help Please

[GML Myth]

For starters, I am more of a MythTV Luser, not user.  I can't code, I 
am new to Linux, and especially new to configuring HW settings to get 
that "optimal" sound and video output.  In fact, you tell me the 
command I need to enter to get my settings and I will give you all 
the info I have.  I think it is lspci something or other.
   What does the A/V look like when you play the non-DVD, copied mpg 
file on your PC?  What does it look like when you watch the recorded 
show on your Mythbox? If they both look good, then the problem may be 
with your burner/DVD player, not the settings of your Mythbox.  Blank 
DVD's are expensive, so I made sure my captures played correctly both 
on my PC and Myth before burning anything.  
   I am reading this at work.  When I get home tonight, I will have 
better details for you.

Cheers,
George


Hi Fellow MythTV User
 
I read your post on the MythTV users forum and I have a question for 
you. I also am doing exactly what you are doing. But I'm having a 
small problem and I'm just trying to figure out if anyone is 
experiencing the same thing. I copy the file from Myth over to my 
Windows XP PC and rename the file to .mpg. When I burn the DVD it 
looks great but every 5 seconds the video goes into slow-motion for a 
second. The audio is perfect...I tried all different capture rates to 
know avail.  Could you please please email me your capture settings 
as well as the software that used, as well as any special options you 
had to check in the software. This is driving me nuts. Here is some 
of the configurations that I used.
 
PVR-250

NTSC 

Video 
352x480 
MPEG-2 Hardware Encoder 
Stream Type: MPEG-2 PS 
Aspect Ratio: 4:3 
Bitrate 2500/2500 

Audio 
Codec: MPEG-2 Hardware Encoder 
Sample Rate: 48000 HZ 
Type: Layer II 
Bitrate 224 
Volume: 90% 

I’ve also tried changing the video to: 
720x480 
Bitrate 3500/5000 

the software I’m using to burn. I’ve tried: 
NeroVision 
Ulead DVD Workshop 
Ulead DVD Moviefactory 3 



Thanks everyone 
Bill
