As a last ditch effort to get at some RTJpeg encoded videos that I haven't been successful in transcoding (via mencoder and a custom MythTV user job) I tried using nuvexport to transcode outside of MythTV, and using the file browser for playback.
This works using FFmepg and the SVCD or DVD target, but the video quality is horrible - blocky and full of motion artifacts. I've boosted the maximum variable bit rate (from a default of 6000 to 9000) and the quality settings as high as they'll go (for the quality setting the default was 5 on a range of 1 to 30; I assumed the lower numbers were better and tried 2 and 1). While the video quality of the original recording isn't terrific, it's substantially better. I could see this happening for the SVCD target, but the DVD target ought to produce acceptable quality. I also tried the transcode transcoder within nuvexport, but its DVD target produces separate demultiplexed video and audio files. I could dig up tools to remux them, but it doesn't seem worth the bother. So anyone tried using nuvexport to export stuff from MythTV for MVP playback and found optimal settings? In any case, nuvexport w/FFmpeg and the DVD target does seem to produce MVP playable videos. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
