[mythtv] Re:Transcoding pvr-250 files

[Tobias Blomberg]

Geoff,

I just tested to transcode some recorded material using CVS from Aug 30. The 
original was sampled with a PVR-250 at 2.5/4.0 Mbit. The movie was about 2h 
30min long including commercials. I transcoded it into MPEG-4 at 900kbit 
removing the commercials. It took 20 hours on my PII 300 :-)  Quality of 
audio/video was as expected.

To start with, the MPEG-2 file was about 3G (3521574848) and after transcoding 
it is about 800M (881292070). Great! Everything seem to work just fine.

The only issue is that the total time has been cut in half (about 1h) and the 
playback time is increased 1 second every 2 seconds. I timed it and after two 
real minutes the timer said exactly one minute.

I hope this can help you find the transcoding bug. If it's worthless info for 
you, just /dev/null it ;-)

Best regards,
Tobias
