I have just spent a significant amount of time composing a qualification
to my comment quoted above, only to find that the ticket had been
locked. Deja vu - see VDPAU.
I felt I should say that I have no recent experience of using
mythtranscode on recordings with more than one video and one audio
stream, because I now use mencoder before mythtranscode to avoid the
quite frequent failures that appeared to be caused by the disappearance
of the secondary audio stream. I still choose the wanted audio stream
interactively although it would probably be sufficient for my use, with
dvb-t in the uk, to automate selection of the 'stereo' stream.
I'm using the ATrpms 0.21-bijou builds on fc10 and CentOS5.2 boxes.
Despite Geoff's statement it still seems difficult to understand why
applying a cutlist to a subtitled dvb-t recording should be so difficult
if there is no need to convert to some other format. The transport
streams exist and the player can obey a cutlist, so why can't the
modified streams that are used by the player be recorded? Don't we have
a suitable remuxer? *Must* the output be PS?
