<P>John,</P>
<P>Good call. I ran tcprobe and got the message 'file type/codec not yet supported by transcode.' However, I did run tcprobe on my other shows and the messages came up as MPEG2 TS type files/codecs so it does appear that mythtranscode is running smoothly and I have my bitrate set too high (I left it at the default what ever that was). Looks like I just need to fiddle with my settings a bit to get the shows a bit more compressed.</P>
<P>thanks a million!</P>
