I attempted the rebuilds as suggested by Mr. Dean at the time but had no luck with the issue. Since it was only a cosmetic annoyance for me I figured best not to risk breaking something that would impact the WAF and just lived with it.</div>

<div>FYI - I also have scrambled preview images (normally the image just shows a bunch of lines) on files transcoded to H264 with handbrake (transcoded to mkv files), but only with 720p recordings. 1080i recordings show good previews. I do not think it is related to mythcommflag, which I run on each transcoded file and it deletes the seek table because seek tables are not used with mkv files.</div>

<div>The scrambled preview files are a very minor issue to me so I have not made any effort to solve it.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
