Yeah!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=750581123-18032004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, I'm still
partially confused about transcoding. I've read the documentation on the
web site and I'm still a bit confused.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=750581123-18032004><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) >From what I
understand, since I don't have transcoding enabled by default, my PVR-250 will
output RTJpeg directly, and that is what gets recorded to disk? or does it get
converted to MPEG-2?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=750581123-18032004><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Okay, so the .nuv
files stored on my disk contain the raw video/audio data with the comercial
skip, or any other cut points I have set, great. Now, if I hit "T" to
transcode the file manually, what exactly is it doing? I'm thinking it
just queues the currect video I'm watching/editing to be transcoded,
correct? If so, what format does it transcode it to, and where does the
file go? From what I can tell, it overwrites the old file? >From what
I saw, there are two transcoder options, RTJpeg and MPEG-4, is it transcoding
from RTJpeg to MPEG-4? I'm a little confused as to what exactly it is
doing here.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=750581123-18032004><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) I've tried using
mkmovie (version 1.0.1-3 from ATRPMS), and I get the following error if I try to
convert it? It appears that the call to mythframes is failing. If I
run mythframes manually on ANY of the .nuv files I get "ERROR! Currupted File!
Bad Header!". Any ideas?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

be able to offload the files from my MythTV system to another machine to play,
MPEG-4 format is fine as long as it is a high quality copy, I'm more concerned
about audio/video quality than file size.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
