I gave up on transcoding a while back. I shelled out for a terabyte of storage on my media server, so ~1-2g per TV show recorded just wasn't an issue.<br><br>Lately however I wanted to look into transcoding because I bought a smartphone that (supposedly) can play videos. Wouldn't it be neat to watch last night's episode of Lost on the train to work?<br><br>So, I'm looking back into it. The last time I attempted to transcode video, using nuvexport, it was pretty hit-or-miss (mostly I would end up with a stuttery piece of crap; sometimes it would come out watchable; deinterlacing and honoring the myth cutlist never worked). Whatever the case, transcoding took six hours or more on my P4/2.4 ghz box, and even though the capture card is supposed to be doing all the grunt work of recording, I was unable to record and transcode at the same time.<br><br>So, today I decided to dive back in and really make an effort. If anyone has any advice or lessons
learned on transcoding I would love to hear them (especially if any of the above rings a bell and you have a solution).<br><br>Thanks,<br>Pete<br><p>
