[mythtv-users] transcoding video for a Sony Bravia TV

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Does someone have a working example for a command line transcoding with
mencoder or ffmpeg that produces working files for a Sony Bravia 42W655A
TV set?

I found out that it only supports maximal file size of 2 GB but even
with splitting files I don't get it working :-(

I tried with different extensions like .mpg .mp4 .m2ts ... no success.

various codecs ... mpeg4, mpeg2video ... the problem is that the TV
doesn't tell me what the actual problem is.

Sony tells me to use one of these formats:

I tried something like:

ffmpeg -i 29724_20131112191300.nuv -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec copy -ab
448k -f vob -copyts -y file.mpg

(and I used -ss etc to split the file into smaller chunks)

Source video:

This was a plain mythtv recording and then transcoded to NUV back then.

thanks for any pointers!
