[mythtv-users] Mythburn - so close

[Don Brown]

I've installed mythburn and have it 90% working.

The DVD's are perfectly usable, but the last remaining problems is on the
menu, there are only green squares where the episode preview pics should be. 
I've tried it with and without the 'animated menu' checkbox checked.

Now, when I look in mythburn.log, I see this:
Extracting video thumbnails for animated menu
tc_memcpy: using mmxext for memcpy
(decode_mpeg2.c) video write failed.
(demuxer.c) write program stream packet: Broken pipe

and yet, in the mythburn.sh script, I see:
transcode -q 0 -i ${tempdir}/${file} -x vob,null -y jpg,null \
          -o ${tempdir}/${page}_${index}/V -Z 140x105 \
          --progress_off ${blueface} ${flip_thumbnails}\
          --nav_seek ${tempdir}/${file}.tcindex \
          -c 2000-$((2000 + maxanimframes))

which has no pipes to break.  Hum....
The tmp directory is owned by apache, so the line above transcode should have
no problem creating the directories.

Another thing that is just a preference item is that all the choices for the
"menu selection image" all have only red and black.  I was thinking a yellow
border 4 or 5 pixels wide would be easy to see and closer to a standard
selection on a purchased DVD.  Perhaps it will be clear when I get the preview
working - right now, there's no visual indicator at all which chapter is selected.

Anyway, thanks for reading this far.  Your help is always appreciated.
