I used to use the mencoder-based script that I posted earlier as a preprocessor to get rid of the problematical extra streams that probably still come and go in DVB-T recordings. I used mythtranscode --mpeg2 --honorcutlist on the output, usually without problems, with MythArchive with no cutlists and no transcoding then usually able to create a full-sized 4.3 GiB DVD image in less than 30 min. Each stage of the process could be checked, but inexplicable failures still happened.<br>
<br>
For several years now I've been using ProjectX within scripts to do the job instead; currently mythDVBcut. It's a hands-on process, but I can't really see it being anything else. Failures are rare, and rarer than before. There are still niggly inconveniences, but the biggest worry is that changes introduced into master, or the underlying tools, will bring new problems when a new version of -fixes makes its appearance. :-)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
