So.... what is involved on downgrading from 0.25 to 0.24? (without<br>
losing recent recordings, of course).<br>

You would need to restore the backup you made before upgrading and<br>
then import any new recordings manually.<br>

<br>
Specifically importing new recordings into the Video Library (formerly MythVideo).<div class="im"><br>

That's the only supported<br>

sigh.... time-consuming..... it is a hard decision.... eventually,<br>
I'll go back to 0.25, so... invested several hours downgrading from<br>
0.24 looks like a bad idea :( , maybe I'll just live with my pvr150,<br>
and wasting lots of disk space, until I get some more free time to fix<br>
things on 0.25.<br>
<br>
On the other issue: is there anybody else having issues with<br>
transcoding? (maybe I should open a new thread for that, right?).<br>

FWIW, disk space is pretty cheap (even with the price increase after the Thai flooding). A 1TB HDD could store a /ton/ of 2GB/hr MPEG-2 SDTV recordings from an ivtv device. And, FWIW, the transcoding supported by mythtranscode--to MPEG-4 ASP in an NUV container, and not H.264 in any "useful" container--doesn't really provide useful space savings, meaning you're better off keeping the video in the original MPEG-2 format. You'd only want to transcode your ivtv recordings if you have a constrained device that doesn't support MPEG-2--and even then, you'd want to use something other than mythtranscode since that device won't support NUV container.<br>
