I see a message about no Xvfb at the begining. Does this have anything to do with the never ending cutting process? avidemux2 is an X11 program that tries to output status/progress information even when run in batch mode. So, you need some kind of X server for avi2demux to output to. best choice is Xvfb - a virtual framebuffer X server; this lets avidemux2 work without actually opening any windows. You don't have it, so fallback to plan b: avi2demux just uses your defined DISPLAY environment variable and opens an X window on your display. should work OK if X is setup correctly and other X stuff works. Also, is the output of nuvexport on cutting the mpeg-2 mpeg-4 or still mpeg-2? Output is mpeg-2; processing should be fairly fast since no reencoding is needed for most of the file. What type of file is the original mpeg stream? post the output of tcprobe -i /video/recordings/1037_20050305195900_20050305231000.nuv if the output shows [tcprobe] MPEG packetized elementary stream (PES) as file type, avidemux2 can't handle the format and so the whole process fails. Your files are from a DVB source, right? two possible workarounds: when using mythtv 0.16, you should try to set the record TS option in setup to record the DVB transport stream directly instead of converting to a PES stream. For mythtv 0.16 this isn't supported (doesn't work); also it would only help you for new files. For your existing files, you'd have to convert your PES format files to PS format using (for example) replex or lvemux before running nuvexport.

Re: [mythtv-users] Commercial cutting DVD burning
Thanks to everybody for the replies. David, thx for the steps. A few question though. I installed avidemux as you suggested and opned one of my 30 minute clips. Maybe I missed something or didn't do it right. Here is what I came across I also read some docs about cutting. The only way I could do was jump to the next black frame or the keyframe and then having marked the point a mark point b and cut it. But clicking on find next black frame, it kind of was going thru the video at the same pace as it would play, maybe a little faster but definitely did not finish in 5 mins. So, I am thinking I am missing something. Are you using the cutlist when you start avidemux? Can you give me some more info on cutting the clips once I open it in avidemux? Thx a lot Praveen David wrote: It's a doddle to do if you have a PVR350 I have about 60+ DVDs of Farscape, Stargate, Buffy, Films etc etc All have proper DVD menus, no commercials, proper printed covers All done 100% in linux Mostly by my non-linuxy wife (who now enjoys linux and gimp) Basically: * record using DVD profile on PVRx50 * move the nuv file to your editing space * use avidemux (2.36, not 2.38) to index and cut out commercials (5 mins) * optionally use avidemux to save screenshots (press 'j') (1 min - 20 mins depending on fussiness) * save as mpeg (A+V) into show.VOB (5 mins) * use qdvdauthor to create menu (5 mins) * save as VIDEO_TS (10 mins) * burn to DVD (15 mins) * optionally use gimp to create cover (hours and hours if you get fancy!!)

The copy to Windows is about the best answer I'v run across, and I agree too much work so I haven't done it. The next answer you'll get is the devs don't burn shows so they won't code it because they don't want it. You'll also get and this one rightly so If it is too much trouble for you to copy to a windows box and burn then it is way too much trouble for someone else to code this for you. I'm just repeating most of the things you'll hear based on old posts. I'd like this to be easy, but it seems the editing is not an easy task to keep sound in sync. The last few days have had a few good step by steps, but they are still pretty drawn out. I'm waiting for a while to get a DL burner until I have time to work on this particular problem myself or someone else comes up with a good answer.

Re: [mythtv-users] Anyone have any luck with MythTiVo and PVR350?
I have the 350 and have ot working to my satisfaction using Jarod's excellent guide. But I don't use the mplayer. I use the TV Out on the 350 and I haven't had any problrems with the pic so far. I like this so much that, I hardly watch live tv anymore!. I either watch the recorded shows or start watching the show after it has started.

[mythtv-users] How to change the cutlist?
After reading some posts about incorrect cut points, I wanted to make sure the cutpoint were right. Hit the M and the Z key to generate the cutlist while palying back the recording. I could see some blocks at the bottom of the screen representing what I assume is the cutlist. But how do I move from one cutpoint to another to see the commercials/actual video to verify the cutpoint and if its not right how do I fix it? I guess what I looking for are the keystroles that will help me do this. Thanks Praveen ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] Remote mappings
I just setup my mythtv with PVR-350 using the how-to on wilsonet.com. Works great. Great how-to. Didn't expect it to go smoothly:-). I am really impressed with the way its working. I have the new gray hauppauge remote. I would like to customize it myself though I am using the lircrc from the how-to. Especially I would like the program-guide to come on when I click the guide button. It does not work right now. After reading thru the archives looking for info on howto map the keys to actions in mythv, I did not find any. Is there any doc on what are the allowed actions for mythtv that I can use in the lircrc?

[mythtv-users] rhgb on pvr-350 out
When I steps on Jarod's howto, I could get my X desktop on tv after the xorg.conf change. But, the new ramdisk image I created did not work. It had problems starting X. So, I had to go back to the old image I had. I see that Jarod has posted a patch on 2/21 for loading drivers at boot time. Should I be using this in conjunction with the ramdisk creation in the how-to?
