Yeah actually it looks like I was wrong about that. If you look at
the logs and code it says "Copying audio while transcoding video" if the
output format is MP3, buuuuuut both decoders used by the
nuppelvideoplayer ignore the "copyaudio" setting. That's what I get for
reading the log output but not following the code!
I'd like to keep the AC3 soundtrack too when I transcode, but I have
no idea what would be involved in doing that so I can't say what the
future holds. I used to have the same problems as you where the final
externally-transcoded file isn't very seekable even after rebuilding the
table so I eventually just resorted to using the integrated
mythtranscode. Now that I'm recording firewirestreams, I'm starting to
think it would be easier to try external transcoding again (considering
the HD stuff I record like Lost is 23.976fps telecined then frame-rate
doubled to 59.96fps)
I'll let you know if I have any success myself.
