Thanks everyone for all the help so far. Hope I can get this figured out. On 9/22/05, Adam Bodnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I used ffmpeg to manually transcode a couple programs. Is there a way to skip commercials with ffmpeg? (I don't think so.) I tried nuvexport but it stopped with an error and it was easier to use what I know (ffmpeg) rather than trying to figure out what is wrong with nuvexport. Anyway, I thought that mythtv was supposed to be doing this (transcode and cut commercials) automatically after it finished recording. Am I wrong about this? Does everyone have to run nuvexport manually?

(I am using Ubuntu AMD64 actually and the logs are there.) I just checked out the log. (Pasted the last bit below). It seems that commercials ARE being flagged, but there is some strange error: [mpeg2video @ 0x2a96567aa0]invalid cbp at 28 11 [mpeg2video @ 0x2a96567aa0]Warning MVs not available I wonder what "MVs" are and why they are not available. Any ideas? Also, I don't seem to have the DB (database?) connections that you show in your logs. Problem?
