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 color="#888888"><br>
