I'm sure this has been asked, but I haven't had a lot of luck searching<br>
the archives.<br>
<br>
It appears mythvideo can play MPEG2, RTJPEG, and MPEG4 video formats.<br>
<br>
I have some HD content I would like to transcode to MPEG4 to save space,<br>
but I would like to keep the 5.1 audio. It appears that mythtv can<br>
transcode to MPEG4 using MP3 audio, but I could not find if it would<br>
preserve the 5.1 audio.<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate suggestions. </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
Mythvideo can play any format you can find an external player for.
I've yet to find a format that wouldn't play on mplayer and/or VLC. Install the
right codecs, use a driver that works well with your hardware, and you
can get away with just about anything (DRM issues aside; encrypted
iTunes videos or the like have issues for 'artificial' reasons).<br></blockquote><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
