Hi All, I've been running MythTV for quite a while with an analogue tuner card, using an XBox (and more recently a Mac mini) as the frontend. All the deinterlacing has been done server-side while encoding, so this has been working extremely well.
This weekend, I decided to switch to a DVB-T card (XPERT DTV-DVB-T with the cx88xx chipset). The card is now set up and working with MythTV, but I have two issues: 1. I can't use filters such as "kerneldeint" when encoding. This seems strange, since MythTV is encoding the stream to MPEG-4, just as it did with the analogue card. 2. The aspect ratio is stuck at 16:9. This means that when a show is broadcast in 4:3, there are black bars at the top, bottom and sides. When using my PC as a frontend, I can deinterlace the picture during playback and alter the aspect ratio in order to fix these issues. Unfortunately, the Mac mini does not cope well with either of these workarounds (applying any zooming or filters sends the CPU usage sky-high), so does anyone have any advice of a solution on the server-side?
