RE: [mythtv-users] NUV to DVD scripts for PVR-xxx owners
Thank you, I have not tried it yet, but it looks nice. I guess I can use this in place of nuvexport. I can also combine a bunch of my favorite show in windows and burn them -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Frisch Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 11:10 AM To: mythtv-users@mythtv.org Subject: [mythtv-users] NUV to DVD scripts for PVR-xxx owners I have created two potentially useful scripts for PVR-xxx owners for extracting MythTV-recorded .nuv files and re-muxing them to DVD-compliabnt video. NOTE: this script will *NOT* work for MythTV recordings not created by a hardware MPEG-2 recorder. There are scripts that already exist for that. Usage: Use 'dumprecorded.pl' to get a list of current MythTV recordings, and then pass the nuv filename to 'makempg.sh' to create a DVD-compliant MPEG-2 file. NOTE: dumprecorded.pl will have to be edited to use your MySQL database settings. See comments within the file. ./makempg.sh myfile.nuv outfile.mpg 'makempg.sh' needs ProjectX as well as mplex. On my system, /usr/local/bin/projectx is a shell script: --- cut here --- #!/bin/sh java -jar /home/mfrisch/temp/ProjectX_Source_0.90.2/ProjectX.jar $* --- cut here --- After outfile.mpg is created, it's easy to create a DVD image using: mkdir dvd dvdauthor -o dvd outfile.mpg dvdauthor -o dvd -T mkisofs -dvd-video -o myiso.iso dvd/ rm -rf dvd This procedure will put one recording per DVD and not bother with chapters, a menu, and the other frills that I don't need. Hope this might be useful to somebody. Feedback, modifications, etc are appreciated.

I would probably charge a billion dollars, mine has been a hassle trying to get it working. There are just too many factors to consider to get a working box. I know there is a suggested hardware list to use etc. 3 weeks and counting I now have a box that seems to work but reboots (PVR-500, 256MB, 700 mhz, both front and backend. Just trying this out to get it working before I shell out hard earned dollars for a nice box.)

[mythtv-users] MythTV - PVR500 - Auto Reboots
Finally got some picture and sound after 2 weeks of trying to get it working, day-in-day-out. Also after 6-7 installs of FC4 and 10-12 installs of KnoppMyth Well this time when following Jarod's guide, I used the stable version of the IVTV rather than the testing that was specified. Also the copying of the ROM's from the CD that came with the PVR-500 to /etc/modules, modifying the "ivtv" file and BOOM, video and sound. Well my new problem is when it starts to record a scheduled program it automagically reboots after 30 secs. Any idea?

Hi all, I have about 66 video* files where * ranges from 0 – 66. I have followed these instructions (http://www.bitbenderforums.com/~ralpha6/knoppmyth/knoppmythtv.htm) on setting up my PVR-500 card.

RE: [mythtv-users] Where is the CHEAPEST PVR-500 out there
Am actually just looking on just using the new PVR-500 for now (one box front and back) and storing away the HD-3000 until I get digital cable and HD content (I only have analog cable for now). I went out and bought HD-3000 before there was a ban on it. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Woods Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 10:33 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Where is the CHEAPEST PVR-500 out there On Wed, 2005-09-28 at 00:24 -0700, Mike wrote: > Folashade Adeyosoye wrote: > > > I think am going to get a PVR-500 along with my HD-3000, where is the > > cheapest PVR-500 on the net or store.. > > > Right now I think your going to find that you can't get those working > together This has been covered on the list recently. It depends on what you are using for input to the HD-3000. If you are using analog cable, then the V4L drivers will work with this card (probably depending on kernel version, your mileage may vary) in which case there is no conflict with the PVR-500. I did have both working in my machine at one point. It is likely, however, that if you have any kind of digital input to the HD-3000, the V4L drivers won't work, but I have not personally verified that. --Greg ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I am beginning to think I might have chosen the wrong card, I am not looking on upgrading my Comcast cable anytime soon to digital.

I have used the pcHDTV-3000 card successfully, with analog cable, using the V4L drivers. I'm not saying that's necessarily the best; I too am fairly confused about all the different drivers vs. signal types vs. kernel versions. All I can say is that this worked for me. I ended up switching to a PVR-500 so I could get two tuners and hardware encoding; I'll save the 3000 card in case I ever get an HD-capable TV. --Greg ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

From what I've been reading I will need to hook up the cable to my tuner card after it goes through the cablebox (so it is decoded). I want to be able to watch tv while recording a different channel. From what I've read I am pretty sure this means I need two tuner cards which will both need to have the cable coming from a cablebox. My question is if I just split the cable from the cablebox, is there any way to record something and simultaneously watch a different channel or do I have to have two cable boxes for this?
