[mythtv-users] Can't get MythArchive to work

[John]

Hello All,

I've been trying to get MythArchive to burn a DVD and
I can't get it to work. On 10/21/06, I grabbed the
latest SVN and compiled all the plugins. I'm trying to
burn the DVD (non ISO) without using any cutlist. I
have two recordings and one is an hour and was
recorded when I was running 0.19 and the other one is
a half hour and was recorded with 0.20. Both of them
give me two different errors. I changed mythburn.py
from 'v','0' to 'v','1' to see if I could get more
info.

The half hour program stops with an ffmpeg error shown
below.

[mpeg2video @ 0x45a657a8]MPEG1/2 does not support 5/1
fps
Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 -
maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate,
width or height

The hour program makes it's way through the ffmpeg
step but when it gets part way through mplex I get the
following errors and it stops.

One thing I noticed is mplex says 720X480 even though
I recorded at 480 X 480. On the hour long show, I
looked at the final.mpeg in Kaffine and everything
started out okay but as it progressed the video and
audio got out of sync. I assume it got to far out of
sync and just stopped. I've tried multiple
combinations of "No FIFO", "AC3", and "allow
Mythtranscode".

Does anyone know what is causing the problem?

Laslty, can someone tell me the difference between
mplex and mythreplex?

Thanks
