[mythtv-users] Problem with nuvexport and mythtranscode

[Kenneth Hadley]

Here's what I get following launch of nuvexport with --debug:
______________________________________________________
To encode:  Beavis and Butt-head:  Career Day; Safe House
Use the following commands:

system call:
mkdir -m 0755 /tmp/fifodir_3839/

forking:
/bin/nice -n19 mythtranscode --showprogress -p autodetect -c 1333 -s
2005-05-23-22-00-00 -f "/tmp/fifodir_3839/" 2>&1

forking:
/bin/nice -n19 ffmpeg -hq -y -f s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 -i
/tmp/fifodir_3839/audout -f rawvideo -s 480x480 -aspect 1.3333 -r 29.970
-i /tmp/fifodir_3839/vidout -aspect 1.3333 -r 29.970 -deinterlace

0.02 -scplx_mask 0.5 -4mv -part -acodec mp3 -ab 128 -f avi "./Beavis and
Butt- head - Career Day; Safe House.avi" 2>&1

Following the debug steps I opened a new terminal window for the next
command and get this:

______________________________________________________
/bin/nice -n19 ffmpeg -hq -y -f s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 -i
/tmp/fifodir_3839/audout -f rawvideo -s 480x480 -aspect 1.3333 -r 29.970
-i /tmp/fifodir_3839/vidout -aspect 1.3333 -r 29.970 -deinterlace
-croptop 10 -cropbottom 10 -cropleft 10 -cropright 10 -padleft 2
-padright 2 -s 620x464  -vcodec xvid -b 1200 -lumi_mask 0.05 -dark_mask
0.02 -scplx_mask 0.5 -4mv -part -acodec mp3 -ab 128 -f avi "./Beavis and
Butt- head - Career Day; Safe House.avi" 2>&1
ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4756, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice

/tmp/fifodir_3839/audout: I/O error occured
Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

"/tmp/fifodir_3839/audout: I/O error occured" is I'm assuming the error
stopping the encoding, but I dont have any idea what it means.
