>How do you transcode though?
I created my own transcode profile that I set to auto-transcode when the
recordings finished. It used to work fine and then stopped about a week ago
after updating. I'm now running mythbackend version: [0.24-6.fc13
(4af46b1f5d)]. It garbles the 6-channel audio from recordings off my cable box
(firewire) and a OTA tuner card. (Theoretically, it might also garble 2-channel
audio from these sources if there is any... but I haven't ever seen it) There
are no problems transcoding recordings from my analog card.
The profile I've been using has the following options:
Page 1: No custom filter. The two boxes are not checked (No lossless transcoding
nor resizing)
Page 2:
Codec: MPEG-4
Bitrate: 5000kb/s
Max Quality: 2
Min Quality: 15
Max Diff Between Frames: 3
Only two boxes checked: Enable-high quality encoding and Enable 4MV encoding
Number of Threads: 2
Page 3:
Codec: MP3
Sampling Rate 48000
MP3 Quality: 1
Volume: 100%
Also, I just tried transcoding another recording changing the audio codec from
MP3 to uncompressed, and I got the same result.
Here's the backend output from that:

than likely the video is actually 1080 so mythtranscode will treat it as such.
