[mythtv-users] ATRPMS-Bleeding state?

Can anyone running the current ATRPMs-bleeding packages tell me how it's
going? I've been having lots of transcoding problems that I've been unable
to solve. I'm hoping an upgrade will fix some things.

Specifically I can't transcode DVD's or recordings, or archive anything.
When I try to transcode a DVD the screen for that is just blank. When I try
to transcode a recording it just does nothing. Archiving fails with the
generic message about a "script error" and the archiving log shows an ffmpeg
error.

Attempts to run transcode and ffmpeg by hand give a variety of errors.
Oddly, using ffmpeg to transcode an HD program that's over 8.7GB with
settings that should yeild high quality gives me a 128MB file that's choppy
and is only 5 mins of the program.

I'm tired of chasing the rabbit down the hole and I'd like to fix it in one
fell swoop by upgrading. But if I go to bleeding, am I just trading one
devil for another?

If this doesn't work I'm going to back it all up to dual layer DVD and try
out LinuxMCE 1.1 and/or MythDora 4.0.


Thanks in advance,

Joe
