[mythtv-users] Is someone using VLC to convert mythtv recordings into iPod or another format?

Ah excellent!

rpm -qa | grep aac
shows i have: faac-1.24-1.2.fc4

since FC4 is no longer supported I tried upgrading with

faac-1.25-2.fc3.rf.i386.rpm, which I found on rpmfind.net.

the " Error while opening codec for output stream #0.1" has been fixed!

Nuvexport choosing export to iPod works now, with the iPod.pm from the
myth2ipod site.

Trying myth2ipod now also succeeds! The feed is readable by iTunes and the
video plays, I'm quite happy now :)

Thank you very very much Jon!

There is no need to try VLC now. Although I'm still interested to see how
good it works.

A small pointer for others who are facing problems with myth2ipod.
Add in the myth2ipod script : --debug to the my_nuvoptions user variable,
this will run the script and nuvexport will show how it would call ffmpeg.
It will not execute ffmpeg!

In my case it shows that myth2ipod tells nuvexport to call ffmpeg as
follows:
/bin/nice -n19 ffmpeg -y -f s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2 -i
/tmp/fifodir_8788/audout -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s 720x576 -aspect
1.33333333333333 -r 25.000 -i /tmp/fifodir_8788/vidout -aspect
1.33333333333333 -r 25 -deinterlace -croptop    12 -cropright 14 -cropbottom
12 -cropleft  14 -s 320x240  -vcodec mpeg4 -b '393216' -title 'Rail away'
-flags +4mv+trell+loop -aic 1 -mbd 1 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -acodec aac -ar 48000
-async 1 -ab 64 '/video/ipodfeed/2_20070306200447.temp.mp4' 2>&1

You can use this to try to figure out if the problem is part of myth2ipod,
or like in my case a problem somewhere in ffmpeg or one of the modules it is
using.
