[mythtv-users] RE: transcoder Troubles

[Richard Helvick]

I am still having problems with my transcoder.  I changed the type from RTJPG
to MPEG4 now I get smaller files, but the files seem to missing frames.  When
I play a transcoded file it seems to be playing in fast forward.  What is the
proper way to get the transcoder set up?  After I get this working I should
have a really great setup.  MythTv is such a great project.

Thanks,
Rich


All,

I am having some troubles with my transcoder and I can't quiet figure
out what is wrong. I am running version .14 with both the front and
backend on one box. I have two PVR-250's.

The problem I am having is that the transcoder is creating extremely
large files. As I look at my video directory now, I can see that there
is a 2.1 gig file that it is working on and the transcoded version is
currently 17 gigs!! And it hasn't stop. It seems to want to keep
transcoding the file until the disk is full. I have tried to turn
transcoding off with no effect. (The only settings I could find were in
the Recording Profiles, and I set them all to off). If I kill the
transcoding tasks, they are just started up again by the backend.

Thanks,
Rich
