I've been looking at some of my recordings, intending to trim the garbage from the ends and then possibly achive them away. Standard stuff.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, because they are OTA reception, there are occasional errors during transmission. On most of these they are no more than the odd blemish.<br>
<br>
However, I can't run these through mythtranscode because it barfs on the errors. Is there anything available I can run these through that will 'clean up' these files so that I can then process them? Something that will discover the errors and substitute them with a suitable 'fake' block which will permit me to process further? It doesn't have to look any prettier than what was there before, just legal for the file format.<br>
<br>
I would be interested in Linux solutions only.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Robert McNamara wrote a script that does this very thing as a user job.
