[mythtv-users] Mythtranscode ALWAYS Fails when there are Stereo and Mono audio tracks

Fri Mar 23 20:52:43 UTC 2012

Gary, sorry I have taken so long to reply, but I have loaded Mythtv 0.25 to
my Ubuntu 11.10 test system.
The recording of Coast BBC Two 19:00-19:30 failed as usual with audio track
0 - stereo and audio track 1 - mono soundtrack for the hard of hearing.
My main system is Ubuntu 11.04 with Mythtv 0.24 from Ubuntu repo, but with
kernel 3.2.rc2 (for nano 290e Freeview HD Tuner) and auto updating ffmpeg.
Log is as follows.

This is always the same result with recordings with these audio tracks,
DVBCUT has no problem transcoding.
There is possible a subtitle problem as well.
My Ubuntu 11.10 has not got the auto updating ffmpeg as the deb file is
only for Ubuntu 11.04.
