I'm thinking of upgrading to 0.26 but I recall that
there was an issue with lossless transcoding using
Mythtranscode. Since this is a feature that I use I
wanted to find if this was still a problem or should
I wait for 0.27 where I hope the problem is fixed.<br>

I do lossless transcoding all the time and it's
reliable now. There is an issue where, when you cut
the beginning of your recording, myth doesn't play its
audio but I haven't checked if that's a bug in
transcode or myth playback.<br>

I upgraded to 0.27 and lossless transcoding completes but
creates a file which seems to have damaged
meta-information according to ffmpeg/avconv but not
according to mythffmpeg. The original file gives the same
info for both ffmpeg and mythffmpeg but after the lossless
transcoding they produce different results for bitrate and
duration. The transcoded file is playable within myth but
vlc thinks it's much shorter. Handbrake processes the
tanscoded file very slowly.<span class=""><font

<div>I agree, initial testing of 0.27 seemed ok but further
transcodes result in the same issues as 0.26 :(<br>

Yes that looks exactly like the problems I'm seeing where
post-processing of a lossless cut file fails or produces unusable
output. I'm surprised that the metadata of the lossless cut file
seems broken when viewed using mediainfo or ffmpeg/avconv. It seems
that mythtranscode has a new format for mpeg-ps files that these
other programs don't know.<br>
