[mythtv-users] nuvexport --> ASF

[John Andersen]

Trying to do nuvexport to asf (with ffmpeg).

Failed everytime with
  "Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect
parameters such as
   bit_rate, rate, width or height"

Running with --debug caused this line to be barfed up in step 3:

[msmpeg4 @ 0x403ab290]multi threaded encoding not supported by codec

So I re-ran the debug but hacked the third step to say
  /usr/bin/nice -n19 ffmpeg  -threads 1
     (instead of -threads 2)

AND IT WORKED (or at least it is grinding away as I type).

This machine has hyperthreading turned on.

Chris: perhaps this is another area you may want to fix
releted to dual CPUs or Hyperthreading.
