I've recorded the same holiday show three times in the last couple of weeks, and each time I've had errors with mythtranscode performing a trim of commercials as mpeg2. Here is the meat of the error when run from command line (the error in myth itself is listed as "unrecoverable error"):

$ mythtranscode --mpeg2 --honorcutlist --verbose --chanid 5679 --starttime 20121219111100 -o test.mpg

Are those frame numbers normal? The video plays fine, and I can step through the section that those numbers would equate to frame by frame without an issues. Also, this error occurs even if there are no cuts in the cutlist.

I'm running mythtv 0.25 (unfortunately I can't move to 0.26 yet).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jared
