Thanks for the reply's.<br><br>Steve, can you be alittle more specific where this setting is located? <span class="q"><br><br>"edit the perl code to use -b for bitrate."<br><br></span>When creating DVD's from within Myth I'm able to get good results from not re-encoding the recording. Does that still run the recording through some kind of Transcoding process to make it fit or be DVD compliant?<br>
<br>Doesn't myth use Transcoding when creating DVD's? <br><br>Since this process is really about watching my Myth recordings on my Xbox 360 and it recognizes Xvid what would be the best way to convert / relabel the recordings to Xvid so they could be watched? shouldn't it be a 1 to 1 transfer?<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br><br>The file is /usr/local/share/nuvexport/export/ffmpeg.pm<br><br>Around line 172:<br>Change<br><br> # Unknown, just return the parameter<br> return param_pair($param, $value);<br> }<br>
<br>To:<br><br> # Unknown, just return the parameter<br> return param_pair('b', $value) if ($param eq 'bit_rate');<br> return param_pair($param, $value);<br> }<br><br>It's a bit of a hack but it worked on my installation, really it needs debugging it's due to a mismatch between the versions of nuvexport and ffmpeg. Ffmpeg keep changing their command line options, nuvexport tries to compensate but it looks like in the unbuntu version the compensation has quite worked.<br>
<br>An easier way is to set nuvexport to use "transcode" or "mencoder" instead... look in the wiki for details.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Steve<br>
