</div>You overlooked something I told you: MythTV and mencoder (and hence my<br>
transcode script) use opposite meanings of the audio sync adjustment, so if<br>
you need -20ms in MythTV, you need *positive* 0.02s in mencoder. As a side<br>
comment, if you can really spot a 20ms audio-sync error, then you've got<br>
incredibly sensitive perception of such things. It takes about 60ms for me to<br>
notice the effect. A single video frame is about 33ms.<br>

</div>Tell MythArchive NOT to transcode the file. There are two relevant options:<br>
<br>
1) In the MythArchive setup menus, there's an option called "always transcode<br>
recordings" (or something similar to that). Be sure that option is NOT<br>
enabled -- if it's enabled, MythArchive will always transcode recordings,<br>
even if the file is already DVD-ready.<br>
<br>
2) When you select the recording to burn to DVD, tell MythArchive not to<br>
transcode it, rather than set an "SP," "LP," or other "quality" setting.<br>
The "don't transcode" option (or whatever it's called) won't be present<br>
if the file is in a non-DVD-compatible format, but my script only provides<br>
options for DVD-compatible formats, so a file transcoded with my script<br>
should be OK (with the caveat I mentioned several messages back about the<br>
Linux tools sometimes flaking out and producing short recordings). If you<br>
can't seem to select a "don't transcode" option, then check point #1.<br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure that MythArchive won't care about the filename extension; it<br>
checks the file's contents to see if it's in a DVD-ready format.<br>
