[mythtv-users] nuvexport error: ERROR: opening A/V streams (0/0)
I'm running the latest version of nuvexport (nuvexport-0.2_pre20060118 on Gentoo) and I'm getting an error when I try to do a MPEG2->MPEG2 export. I ran nuvexport with the debug flag and this is the command it told me to run manually: $ mpeg2cut /mnt/store/1004_20060126213000_20060126215900.nuv './The Office - The Carpet.mpg' 53685 182-17625 21287-30180 37292-48045 53686- tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' since this will be removed in the future mpeg2cut v223-svn (c) 2005-2006 Gavin Hurlbut Using mode Xvfb Filename "/mnt/store/1004_20060126213000_20060126215900.nuv" OutFile "./The Office - The Carpet.mpg" Output Dir "."

[mythtv-users] Double-Transcoding (was: Writing manual cutlist back to commercial cutlist?)
Robin Smith wrote: > Furthermore, if you then transcode with the cutlist you can physically > remove those parts of the original file, shrinking the size and thus > taking up less of your valuable storage space. What happens if the recording is automatically transcoded down to MPEG4, then you create a cutlist, and finally transcode again to remove the commercials. Does if transcode the whole recording over again, or just cut out the commercials? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I know this is a high traffic list... --Ajay ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

PORTDIR_OVERLAY is where you can put your custom ebuilds. Adding the unstable flag to mythtv in the package.keywords file is a good idea and will work for any gentoo user. IE, you don't need the PORTDIR_OVERLAY flag in your make.conf file. --Ajay ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?
>>>I'm wondering how well everyone else's commercial detection is working? I was using the "ALL" method because everyone was talking about how great it is. I'm not that impressed with it but it might be because I'm watching those shows that still have issues with it: Lost: Very dark at times, scene changes in the middle of the episode get caught Survivor: Good most of the time, but the it jumps around at the end during the tribal counsel part. Daily Show: Sometimes when they jump to a news clip they flash the screen white for a second that that is picked up as a start of a commercial. Earlier today I switched the commercial detection to "Scene Change + Black Screen" or something like that. I also took off the "Auto Skip". Most of the time it's great, but leave Auto Skip turned off. --Ajay ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I don't think I have ever tried to copy one of those, is there something on the VHS that would let me know if it had this type of protection? If so, I could try it out and then see what happens. Well, when I used to do VHS->VHS copies back in the day the resulting tape would have really bad lighting which would fade in and out. That's usually the sign of macrovision. I hear they are developing something similar for DVD's so that you can't copy them with software like DVDShrink.

Re: [mythtv-users] capturing VCR input (macrovision?)
Jon Reynolds wrote: How do you do that? I want to do that too! Ok, take the line carrying your cable/satellite hook-up and do it like so: Take the line from your provider and connect that to the 'input' of your cable/satellite box. From the 'output' of your cable/satellite box go to the input of your vcr. From the 'output' of your vcr connect to the 'input' of your capture card. Then turn on the vcr change the channel to 3 or 4 on Myth and you should see your vcr tape playing inside of "Watch LiveTV". Record that. :) You might need to hit the 'TV/VCR' button on the vcr. Have you tried to copy any macrovision-protected VHS tapes? If so, does your capture card generate all these jacked up video files as if you were doing a VHS->VHS copy? My friend has been asking me to test this out for months and I haven't gotten around to capuring video from a VCR with my PVR-250. --Ajay ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Cable Modem == Free Basic Cable.
I have Adelphia in Riverside, CA for my cable modem service. For television, I'm using Dish Network (mainly for some international channels that aren't available anywhere else). Money's kinda tight, so I scaled back my programming and only get the international channels and local channels on my Dish. Someone told me that you can take the line from your cable modem and stick it in a regular "cable ready" TV and get basic cable. So I stuck it into my PVR-250 and sure enough was able to tune up to channel 99. So now I have Comedy Central, CNN, History, Travel for free (yes, I know I'm still paying for the net connection). Also, it integrates *perfectly* with my Myth box. I can schedule recordings on the satellite or the cable and Myth switches between the two without any problems. This is probably common sense to a lot of you but I just found this out and was quite excited. --Ajay ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
