Re: [mythtv-users] Anyone tried MPEG2 to MPEG2 transcoding?
Hmmm, unless there's special code to handle MPEG2-MPEG2 transcoding, I'd guess that you'd end up with a Myth NuppelVideo container format file, with MPEG2 video and either raw or MP3 audio. Probably *not* what you're looking for. Actually, this sounds like what I AM looking for! I want a Myth file with MPEG2 MP3 - I just want it to use up less space than the default recording size that I get off DVB-T capture. FYI, after issuing the mysql update I set up a MPEG2 -- MPEG2 transcode rule but they are all failing with an error according to the job status screen. I will need to take a look at the log files to see what the problem is. Regards, Phill ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Anyone tried MPEG2 to MPEG2 transcoding?
resending message .. as got relay error from the mailing list. sorry if it shows up as double message. I used vlc to transcode MPEG2-TS (HD stream, 1920x1080, 5.1 DD AC3) to MPEG2 (720x480, 2.0 stereo) when I was using media mvp. thanks mudit On 7/6/05, Mudit Wahal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I used vlc to transcode MPEG2-TS (HD stream, 1920x1080, 5.1 DD AC3) to MPEG2 (720x480, 2.0 stereo) when I was using media mvp.

Is it possible to do this as a user job ? you can use your own command line and set whatever options you want.

No. I think you only get that if you're compiling from CVS and you enable something somewhere in the code. I'm using ATRPMs and the only formats you get to transcode to are MPEG4 or RTJPEG - that's why I needed to enable MPEG2 via mysql.
