[mythtv-users] nuvexportrc default changes

[Christopher Friend]

Hey, I just updated my old nuvexport install and found a few new interesting 
changes in the default nuvexportrc file, wondered if someone (*cough*xris) 
could explain the changes as I'm in two minds whether to change em back 
because I'm sure much more educated thought has been put into the changes 
than any reasoning I could come up with...

crop_pct has changed from 2 to 1.5. I would assume someone's noticed too 
much actual footage being chopped off by the 2 value, always seemed ok to me 
though...

Xvid's v_bitrate changed from 960 to 768 . I'm thinking this may have 
something to do with the next bit...

Xvid's default width is now 512 instead of 624. Looks like someone decided 
to make Xvid files more the realm of very portable media, small resolution 
to play on pmp's or the web, with a small file size to reflect the small res 
and give the thing a much smaller file size. Either that or there's a good 
reason for using 512 (ie. wider compatibility).

When I first started using the thing I think I read comments by the 
nuvexport author as to why 960 was used (a good trade off between file size 
and quality) so it kinda seems strange as to why it's been changed to 768 
(which looks terrible imo). And 624 seemed a perfect resolution too, most 
media players I've come accross (portable or not) work fine with 640 or 
under, so why make it even smaller?



And one more thing... how do I get new versions of nuvexport now it's been 
added to mythtv's svn? (after xris stops handing out tar.gz's, obviously).

Thanks

Christopher
