Ah! That makes perfect sense. Did you ever find a workaround for it, or do you just live with it?

Hi, I've seen a similar behaviour on my DVB-S recordings. Changing the "use video as time base" (or something familiar) in payback settings solved this. Good day, cyth ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I've been seeing this as well. I did a search on the forum, and found
similar problems that seemed to be fixed by doing an error check on
the mythconverg database, and then re-commercial flagging the shows.
After doing all that, my problem did not go away, so I'm very curious
to see what may fix this, as it has essentially broken the commercial
flagging. BTW, I get variation now anywhere from 30 min to 1 1/2 hrs
for a 1 hr show.

The above behaviour seems to happen with NBC (Law and Order). Last
night I recorded some things from CBS, and the OSD shows a length of
around 54 minutes for a one hour show ("Numbers" pilot) when doing fast
forward or rewind. And again, the commercial skip gets progressively
further off as the show plays.
So, NBC's shows are 10% "too long", and CBS shows are 10% "too small",
which seems to mess up commercial skip.
Is there some setting I have wrong? Is this a bug that others have
seen? Please help.
Thanks,

[mythtv-users] 1hr show == 66 minutes?
When watching one hour HD shows recorded by my Air2PC, I've noticed that the progress meter claims the show is 1:05:29 long. This is off by roughly 10% from the real length of the show. I'm hoping that this may explain why commercial skip isn't working for me. What I'm seeing is that commercials are flagged, but at the wrong points in the show. At first, the flagged commercials are nearly dead on, but as the show progresses, they get further and further out of sync. By the end of the show, the commercials are off by 5 minutes or so. I don't know if this is HD only because I do not have an analog tuner card. I'm running CVS from Feb 27th. I'm using XVmc, and analog (/dev/dsp) sound. Any ideas what I can do I get rid of this time dilation? I'm not using time-stretch (though I've tried it, and its really, really cool).
