I've just added to svn the first release of MythArchive which is a new<br>plugin for myth that allow you create DVD's from your myth recordings.<br>Its still a work in progress but is at a stage where I would like people<br>
to test it so I can get some feed back on what works and what doesn't.<br>At the moment its in svn as a separate module but eventually when its<br>had more testing and is more complete it will probably be moved in with<br>
the other plugins. Its based on the old MythBurn scripts but has been<br>rewritten to reduce the number of dependencies and to hopefully make it<br>easier to install.<br><br>I've created a wiki page giving more details of what MythArchive can do
<br>and how to install it.<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythArchive">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythArchive</a></blockquote><div><br>Looks very promising. I especially like that it can handle MPEG4s as well. I would like to try it this weekend.
<br>Some questions:<br>- Can it reduce the size of recordings, if they are too large ? Does it use mythtranscode or tcrequant for that ?<br>- Is the new archive format playable ? (Currently I archive with the nuv+sql option from nuvexport which is playable on both Linux and Windows. But that method breaks when the database structure change...)
<br>- I guess the conversion takes place in the background, like with mythburn. Can you confirm that ?<br><br>Best regards<br>Niels Dybdahl<br></div></div><br>
