Hello all,<br><br>I'm seeing "squished" video after transcoding and I wonder if it's pilot error on my part or a bug. Nothing jumped out at me when searching commits, bugs, wiki, or google.<br><br>The facts:<br>
<ul><li>MythTV BE/FE v0.25pre-2978-g8a913d1</li><li>This is a clean install, i.e. no previous MythTV database, directories, settings, or files were in place or restored when installed, which was done recently from a build from git master.<br>
</li><li>The machine is an i7-860, with a GT430 on VDPAU high quality settings,
with a pcHDTV HD3000 and antenna for ATSC OTA.</li><li>The only change I made to the default transcoding profile was switching it from RTjpeg to MPEG-4 (with default settings).</li><li>Mythfrontend was used to edit a cutlist and invoke a default profile transcode.<br>
</li></ul>Below are links to "dd" extracts of the video files, and a log extract.<br><br>Anything else needed can be cheerfully provided.<br><br>Thanks for any thoughts!<br>Eric<br><br>As recorded (.mpg.old)<br>
