I haven't gotten nuvexport working yet, but I have noticed that when I<br>play back some recordings after editing commercials, the playback cuts<br>too early for the commercials. Surprisingly, the commercial endpoints<br>
seem to be correct. I'm using svn 8042, and using a DVB-T card. I<br>also seem to get strange commercial cutpoints, though I have no idea<br>whether that's the same problem or if the commercial flagger just has<br>a hard time handling Australian commercial breaks.

I am using DVB too, HD-3000 and in the US here.<br>

Chris, I just tried watching a Movie I recorded last night from
another channel (Head of State) and it doesn't exhibit the issue... it
works like it's
supposed to. I watched two commercial breaks worth and it was
perfect both times, I then rewatched Starwars II for a couple of breaks
and it was about 30 seconds early both times. The recordings that
don't work are coming from my FOX
station. They may have FPS rates on commercials while ABC
doesn't. Unfortunately, I don't have any movies from other
channels currently. I hope this information helps.<br>

Peter, On a side note: If you want to get nuvexport working you can do
what I did. Just hack up the *.pm files. I manually hacked
the <a href="http://ffmpeg.pm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ffmpeg.pm</a> to get rid of the -hq switch that newer version of ffmpeg
doesn't handle and also added some switches of my own. I'm mainly
transcoding stuff like "The Simpsons" and "Southpark" (mostly cartoons)
for archiving so I used switches that change the aspect ratio and crop
off the black bars and also change the frame rate to 25fps to save
space. Works like a charm!<br>

Good luck and thanks for the confirmation, I was really starting to think that I was an isolated issue. :)<br>
