I do the same thing; record in MP2 and transcode to MP4. I vaguely remember trying to comflag first and then transcode, and remember having some problems (perhaps it forget the comflag information?). Now I transcode THEN comflag, and things work perfectly. I'm new, so don't consider me an authoritative source. ;)
"All" works very well for me here, using the above sequence. I auto-skip, but I don't destructively cut because there are rare times I want to check back during the commercial (for "Next week on a very special E.R." mostly) that it's worth keeping things intact. What I'd like to know, is if there's an easy way to toggle auto-skip on and off while watching a recording? Rewinding into the commercial zone, you have to be very careful not to hit that first "jump" or it helpfully shuttles you around it again... -MG. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 9:32 PM > To: mythtv-users@mythtv.org > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [mythtv-users] Is there any ordering dependency between > transcodingand commflagging? > > > In 0.18.1: > > I'd like to do commflagging and transcoding from MEGP2->MPEG4. > I was originally thinking that I needed to commflag first, then > transcode, but the behavior of Myth when I try (it does both at > once, or tries to), makes me wonder if I need to worry about this > ordering at all. > > So does commflagging care if it flags an MPEG2 stream but then gets > used on an MPEG4 stream?
