[mythtv-users] Manual Recording
Hi folks, I have an issue manually recording, by pressing the "r" button. I searched the list and found exactly the same question dated June 2003. And exactly the same problem. I use S-Video input on Hauppaugh 150 on PAL system. I used wilsonet.com/mythtv as reference and created the mysql db exactly as described. My MythTV 0.18 (installed from rpms, running on Via SP13000, on Fedora Core 4) responds to the "r" button but when pressing the "s" button, in the console, I see first of all " QMYSQL3: Unable to execute query" message and then Segmentation Fault. Is manual recording supported at all? What is wrong with pressing the "s" button? And why, segmentaion fault, which is a very critical error, occurs? Thanks, And Happy New Year! ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] NuppelVideo container format
Guys, thanks for such a prompt reply! But I think you miss the point. Those of you who read the last issue of Linux journal, the "Advanced MythTV Video Processing" article must note, I citate: "Although digital TV recordings are an MPEG-2 video stream, the NuppelVideo container format used by MythTV is specific to MythTV and is not supported by most video player software. To watch the videos with anything other than a MythTV front end, you must convert them to a format with a wider selection of players." I need to use mythtranscode tool to convert the MythTV recordings into more widely supported formats, means it's not MPEG-2 format. Additionally, as I understood, if you take a file in Myth native format with resolution 704x480 which size is 1,756MB after decoding it to DVD (i.e. MPEG-2) format, the file will shrink to 899MB. Now is the one million dollar question, why the native file (original) is so large? Another example, what if I have PVR which has DivX encoding capabilities, whould MythTV save it in DivX (as I expect it to be), or in its native format? Thank you. On 11/27/05, Michael T.

Let's make it clearer, for instance, I use WinTV-PVR-150, it has MPEG-2 encoder, right?

[mythtv-users] NuppelVideo container format
Hi folks,I have a theoretical question about the NuppelVideo container formatused by MythTV.Why does it save video in this format and not in MPEG-2 video stream?As I understand saving MPEG-2 video stream in NuppelVideo format is very much space-consuming.Thus for instance 1,756MB Myth native format can be saved in DVDquality but as much as 899MB only!!! It's twice bigger than the DVDquality.Why Myth format is so large and why can't it be saved in raw MPEG-2 video stream for later playback?Thanks in advance. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
