When one does that one gets something like this: -----------------------sample system call: mkdir -m 0755 /tmp/fifodir_18021/ forking: nice -n 19 mythtranscode --showprogress -p autodetect -c 1061 -s 2005-02-11-07-30-00 -f "/tmp/fifodir_18021/" --honorcutlist 2>&1 ---------------------end-sample For us newbies out here, (sorry only been running linux 5 years) just what do you mean by "forking:" and how would that command sequence be issued by hand? Howbout printing the exact sequence rather than the concept? The second command never returns, so one never gets to issue the third one. While transcoding to AFS, (and several other formats) I see similar problems as toad, where when running without --debug it hangs forever, aggressively gobbling memory and swap until all swap is exhausted, at which point the system is on its knees and whimpering. At no point does it update its frame pointer display while this is happening and i've never been successful with this version of completing any transcoding except to vcd. If I kill it before it gets to that state, the portion transcoded does play in mplayer. Pardon the list/offlist reply, I'm not sure I know where you would rather see this.
