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><font color="#888888"><br>

<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>

I would wait for .27 if you use mythtranscode a lot. I have two
problems when cutting commercials. First is the one with the
silence at the beginning. Second is that about half of the
resulting files then cause handbrake to fail on the encoding for the
iPad. Handbrake just hangs at the start. <br>
<br>
I use the RPMFusion rpms. I have been waiting for .27 to come out
and see if the issues are fixed. It has been a long year with .26
with all of the mythtranscode issues.<br>
