I changed the archiving temp directory to /video/mytharchive/tmp<br>>
(mythtv:mythtv permissions). Then I was getting a segfault error after<br>>
it ran for 15-20 minutes. I tried it with several different<br>>
recordings/videos to make sure it wasn't a funky file problem.<br>><br>>
So I tried removing and re-installing ffmpeg with yum (I'm running Fed<br>>
Core 6, and Myth 0.2 bleeding edge from ATRPMS). Still no dice.<br>>
Finally I downloaded the most recent snapshot ffmpeg source from the<br>>
mplayerhq.hu site and compiled. I did get an "error 2" at the end of<br>>
the "make install", but everything seemed to have installed properly.<br>><br>>
Now when I run MythArchive, everything appears to run perfectly. But<br>>
when I play the resulting DVD, the video/recording is cut off after<br>>
3-6 minutes. I triple checked all my settings and I can't find an<br>>
explanation for this.<br>><br>> Can anyone help?<br>>

I had a similar problem with recordings of 2hours or more being cut
off just before the 2h mark. Turned out that just short of 2 hours
produced a 4gb file and since I was recording on a VFAT
partition,which has a hard limit of 4gb for fiel size,that was my
problem. I just reformatted to a linux format (I forget which) and I
was good. Not sure if this is realted or not but worth a check.<br>
