I recently used the following command to transcode some HD content down to a more manageable size (both screen space and disk space):<br><br>mencoder /video/library/$1 -o /video/library/$1.tmp \<br> -oac copy -ovc xvid -vf scale=720:400 \
<br> -xvidencopts bitrate=900:turbo:nochroma_me:notrellis:max_bframes=0:vhq=0<br><br>I then took this transcode recording and overwrote the original recording (as part of a user job). Now when I go to "Recorded Shows" and select the show I see the playback fine but if I do any kind of skipping around, the audio becomes completely out of sync. Exiting from playback and starting again doesn't fix the issue. I have to use the "Play from..."->"Beginning" option in order ot resync them. It should go without saying that for a DVR this is extremely inconvenient. :-)
<br><br>First question...is there a way to somehow re-syncronize the audio and video? I tried the "use video as timebase" option on playback but that didn't do anything.<br><br>Second question...is there a different output codec I should be using instead? My main issue here is actually screen size, not file size. If I could resize but output in mpeg2, I'd be happy to do that...I'm just now sure how to formulate the command line for mencoder.
<br><br>Note, I did not up date the file size in Myth but I'm guessing the playback doesn't care about this. (?)<br><br>As always, I'd be grateful for pointers and very happy for outright answers. :-)<br><br>--<br>Mike<br>
