[mythtv-users] mytharchive fails on mpeg4 transcoded file

[Andrew Lees]

I hope this is the right place to post questions about mytharchive -
please be kind if not!

When I try to burn a transcoded file, I get a message about
streaminfo.xml not existing. When I execute mytharchivehelper on the
file with something like:

mytharchivehelper -i /mnt/video/3022_20060512183522.nuv x.xml

I get:

2006-05-30 12:41:44.969 Opening /mnt/video/3022_20060512183522.nuv
[mpeg @ 0xa62bc000]Could not find codec parameters (Video: mpeg2video)
2006-05-30 12:41:49.236 Couldn't get stream info, error #-1

and no xml file is produced, hence the previous error.

When I run mplayer on the file I get:

Playing /mnt/video/3022_20060512183522.nuv.
NuppelVideo file format detected.

Any suggestions as what might be the problem?  I realise that I am using
an in-progress tool, and bits might not yet be there, but should this
work at this point?

I have last night's checkins from svn.
