Thanks, Dave ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users I have two backends, a PVR-250 recording mpeg-ps files and a firewire box recording mpeg-ts. My Hauppage MVP works very well on the mpeg-ps files but will not play mpeg-ts files. I've been playing with, and appear to be successful, using mencoder to create mpeg-ps files from the ts files that will play on the MVP. In fact, I just converted and watched about two hours of Hot Rocks on the science channel, a quite excellent series from your side of the pond. Conversion of the ts files to ps files using the copy codec is quite fastabout 700 fps on a 2.8G intel, but a little more susceptable to noise. Using the mpeg2video codec, conversion is about 70 fps. In either case, the sound must be encoded from it's ac3 format to mpeg 1 layer 2 for the MVP to play. Hope this helps, Barry ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Thanks Jonathan Sure... In this script, I just copy the video and downgrade the sound to mp2. TARGET=input.ts OUTPUT=output.mpg mencoder $TARGET -of mpeg \ -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=384 \ -ovc copy \ -o $OUTPUT For what seems a more error tolerant file on the MVP, I use OPTIONS=vbitrate=2500:keyint=25:aspect=4/3:mbd=2:vrc_buf_size=917:vrc_maxrate=2600 mencoder $TARGET -of mpeg \ -oac lavc \ -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=384:vcodec=mpeg2video:$OPTIONS \ -ofps 3/1001 -o $OUTPUT I copied a script from my other machine that does mpeg-ps to mpeg4 files, so the options here may or may not be needed...this was just a quick and dirty test, but it seems to work just fine on the MVP. Mencoder coplained about mpeg2 not doing 29.97 as a frame rate, but the -ofps 3/1001 made that error go away. Hope this helps.
