Here is an idea, I am working a script to take a video file, run
it through menecoder to determine resolution and other things, and
then reencode it into a mpeg2 playable by mvpmc, this will include
some safeguards and replacing the original mythtv .mpg file with the
transcoded one (and deleting or not deleting the original).
The only real issue I have been having in general was that doing
it manually the settings appeared to need to be different for different
resolutions to preserve the proper aspect ratio on the mvpmc display, so
I am making a script to allow setting up different conversions for
different resolutions.
What is the actual native resolution of the MVPMC? I know it is
supposed to run up to 12Mbits, I know my mythtv box is producing
480x480 video currently, and that that works, but if the native
resolution is different the best image should be produced encoding
into the native resolution.
