I recently set up a new mythbox with:
- mythtv 0.20-fixes built from source (svn 13445)
- ffmpeg build from source (svn 9003)
- nuvexport trunk from source (svn 12136 - later versions don't work with 0.20)
and I see exactly the same problem as you. Using ffmpeg to convert to xvid always
results in "low res" video - in spite of playing with bit rate settings etc.
Using --transcode works fine.
Note that on a previous box running 0.19, nuvexport worked fine with ffmpeg - but
I don't have the svn version details.
Cheers,
Justin.
