I'm hoping mencoder doesn't require the ProjectX step, and from what I can see, it doesn't. Of course, the file I just tried it on will now not open in avidemux for some reason, even though the last couple I ran this through worked. Go figure. I'm hoping mean (the avidemux2 guy) can figure out the ish as being able to run: mencoder inputfile.mpg $1 -oac copy -ovc lavc -of avi -noodml -vf pullup,softskip,crop=1272:712:0:0,scale=960:528 -ofps 24000/1001 -lavcopts vcodec=huffyuv:format=422p:aspect=1.78 -o outputfile.avi while a recording is going will set me up for loading it in avidemux for commercial cutting and a final encode with XviD and should cut my processing time down by about an hour. For those that don't care about cutting commercials, if you use -ovc xvid and use the xvid options or lavc's mpeg4 (the defaults are great for both, just give it a final output size) you can fit an HDTV show into 700megs that is from what I can tell at worse 95% of the original file. > > In the meantime, I've written a quick little perl script that dumps the > program description, filename, and date so I can see what file is what > show. you mind sending out that perl script? I'd find it very useful! thanks, Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
