<div>A question for the transcoding gurus out there.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I currently use the inbuilt Myth transcoding options to transcode many of my shows.</div>
<div>It's set to transcode to:</div>
<div> MPEG4</div>
<div> 2400kbps</div>
<div> MP3 audio with 32K sample rate.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This seems to produce NUV files (and good results played back on MythFE or VLC player on Windows).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For Xmas I got a Yamada DVD player that can play back DIVX, XVID, MP4 etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unfortunately it won't play the NUV files even if I rename them to AVI.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've tried getting ffmpeg to rewrite them to an AVI container using:</div>
<div> ffmpeg -i FILE.nuv -f avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy OUT.avi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, what I get then is a file where the video plays at roughly twice the speed of the audio!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So my questions are:</div>
<div> 1) HOW do I convert the NUV files to a playable AVI (as in playable on a "standards" based divx/mp4 player)?</div>
<div> 2) Can I do this WITHOUT further transcoding?</div>
<div> 3) Can I get Myth to do the transcoding correctly in the first place? (I'd accept having to rename the file, re-transcoding seems a bit pointless).</div></blockquote>
<div> </div>
<div>To answer 3, yes you can, but you need to use another program in place of mythtranscode like ffmpeg or mencoder and convert directly to the format you want as a post-recording user job.</div>
