<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Relating to the lossless transcoding
issue mentioned:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to work out what options I have, other
than not transcoding. It's not an option as I want to
archive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Firstly it seems odd to me that, being as it is
meant to be lossless, we lose audio tracks. It's a little "hacky" as are
IMHO the solutions I've seen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For now I'm checking with VLC what audio tracks the
recording has. If the 2nd audio track is the desired track I'm using
my windows box to run batch files to ffmpeg map. I've got the hang of
it but it's far too hands-on really and it's raising my blood pressure, using
time I could be exercising like my doctor said and helping my blood
pressure. A double whammy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've checked through Trac and it appears there may
be a "solution" in the pipeline (is it 0.21 ???) which would require a config
setting. Does this work? Does it work well? From experience
could anybody suggest an ETA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I were to go for an SVN build, I'm guessing it's
unlikely I could retain my current, stable installation
side-by-side.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, Simon Levitt's follow up: </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>As I understand it I would need to compile mythtranscode to get this
working. I wouldn't know where to start. How easy would it be for a
linux novice to do? I'm not so much a novice but I'm daunted by the
instructions I've seen to date. Would my doctor
approve?</DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So my options are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Wait it out </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Try an SVN revision (eeek)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Try an interrim solution (any more suggestions)
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>TIA</FONT></DIV>
