How are people watching these transcoded recordings? Are you using<br>MythVideo or do they somehow appear under Watch Recordings (if so,<br>how)?<br><br>Also, one of the posters mentioned they were getting down to 400MB per<br>
30 mins. Using the in-built transcoder (Autodetect from MPEG2 --><br>MPEG4) I'm getting approx 550MB per 30 minutes, so it doesn't sound<br>like an enormous saving to go to all this trouble to get h264 - are<br>
there other benefits of this aside from the space savings?<br><br>My transcode settings are:<br>Bitrate = 2500<br>Max Quality = 2<br>Min Quality = 15<br>Scale bitrate for frame size = off<br>Max quality diff between frames = 3<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br>I am watching them in Watch Recordings, not MythVideo, hence using the internal player. The script renames the reencoded file to match the original file and the original file is renamed with a .old extension in case you want to revert. A final database update updates filesize and cutlist status in mythconverg. I have added some other refinements since I posted this including: excluding LiveTV recordings, setting the recgroup of reencoded videos to "Archive", removing the line that imports the commercial skip into the cutlist. <br>
