I have been offloading a bunch of content off my DVR. One thing I caught a
few things...

1. Anytime I chose gencutlist, I would get a avi that was all blank and
without sound. If I disable the option, it works... Any ideas?
2. Encoding with either ffmpeg or mencoder never shows the correct number of
frames to process. ffmpeg is maybe 10% off, while mencoder is 400% off
3. How the heck do I get 40 minutes of content under 400 meg (with xvid)?
Everything off the torrents is about that size (for 40 minutes) and I can't
get it under 800 meg!

Thanks!

Dave


 

 

Dave, in your nuvexportrc file, use mencoder, vbr = yes, multipass = no,
quantisation = 4 (or higher for lower file size), a_bitrate = 96, v_bitrate
doesn't matter since you put no on multipass. - I regulary do 1 hour shows,
transcoded to about 40-45 minutes when you take out commercials, doing xvid,
and i get about 170mb per file with very good quality.

Mencoder is much better at lowering the file size for the quality you get,
also note that the frame counts remaining are way off, but it still works
out in the end.
