A disc that only has MPEG audio isn't guaranteed to play on all DVD players. There is an encoder (BeSweet) that runs under Windows to produce stereo and multichannel AC3, but I don't know if there is an AC3 encoder that works with Linux.

Re: [mythtv-users] Archiving TV shows to DVD
If i go through any of the steps that are recommened to burn PVR-250 recordings to disc, I get no sound on either my windows box or my set-top player. It's not the media, I've tired + and -. I CAN get sound on my set-top playe IF I manually configure the player to play PCM instead of Bitstream audio. This is a pain in the butt. I think I've found a solution, but not sure... I'll have to try tonight, but this is what I'm trying: 1) Record PVR-250 2) Edit cutlists 3) Nuvexport MPEG2->MPEG2 Cut 4) Copy to Apple OS X 5) Run ffmpegX (make sure to have mpeg2 qt plugin) 6) Convert to DVD w/AC3 audio 7) Make DVD w/iDVD We'll see what happens when I try and burn it to disk On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 21:39:58 +1100, Hamish Moffatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Jan 24, 2005 at 11:13:39AM -0600, M S wrote: > > Also, does anything address AC3 sound? > > What about it?

How big is the file you are working with? IIRC, I had a similar error
when I was using a version of lvemux that wasn't compilied with large
file support (> 2GB). I got the source and compiled it with "gcc
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" and that solved my problem.

Edit the commercials if necessary. Use "PgUp" and "PgDown" to move between cut point. Use left and right arrows to move manually. Use up and down arrows to change how far you skip when using the left and right arrows. Use "Enter" to add or delete a cutpoint. 5. Press "Esc" to exit Edit mode 6.

Re: [mythtv-users] Archiving TV shows to DVD
I do like what nuvexport can do with cutlists. I would like to use it... but please tell me why I have no sound when I then burn it to DVD and watch it on Windows or when I play it in my set-top box UNLESS I set it manually to PCM sound (not bitstream) on my DVD player? It's extremely annoying, and this point... the only hold back.

Re: [mythtv-users] Archiving TV shows to DVD
All of the solutions I've seen thus far require you start actually watching the program, hit Edit, load cutpoints, then exit. While this is not time consuming, it's not automated. I'm looking for something automated.. IE grab these 3 files, burn em to DVD. What I want may not exist. However, I will say the new version of NuvExport actually works. For the first time in 9 months I successfully mpeg2cut a file today. As an aside, anyone have guidelines for making Xvfb work under FC1? I'd like to be able to run nuvexport from an SSH at work, that way when I get home, it's all ready to burn.

I tried teh MPEG2 -> MPEG2, but the resulting movies are really kind
of grainy and the color is off and there apears to be almost what I
can describe as a faint picture and picture of th exact same show in
the upper left hand corner. Anyone know how to solve this?

Here is the script I use to burn a single recorded show (movie) to dvd. I
also use a pvr-250 for capture. Because I display on a HDTV monitor I run
quite high bitrates (5500/1 peak) and many movies get too big for a disk
without shrinking so I built an automatic shrink into the script. Here is
the process.
I run the mythlink.sh script to create a directory of nicely named links to
the .nuv files. Then I use avidemux2 to open the file and to split the audio
and video into two files named aud and vid. I also use avidemux2 to trim off
the junk at the start and end of the show. Once the files are created you
are done with avidemux2. Next I run this fully automated script to create
the dvd structure and burn it to disk.

Mark your commercials in Myth 2. Use the MPEG2->MPEG2 option of nuvexport. For me, this step usually takes about 5-10 mins on my computer for a 30 minute show. 3. Prepare a video DVD iso using the mpg2 file exported from step 2. I use DVDStyler. Another app is Q DVD Author. 4. Burn the iso to dvd. I use k3b for this. -- Meetup with other Myth users! http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/MUG ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Archiving TV shows to DVD
encoding takes FOREVER. I've had it take 8 hours for a 30 minute episode, that's why I switched to using the "MPEG2 Cut only" option in nuvexport. That option takes maybe 10 minutes compared to 10 hours. search the archives, you'll find a few messages back and forth about a week or two ago as I was trying to get it to work -Jeff On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 11:15:00 -0600, M S <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Also, this didn't get sent to the list: > > Thanks everyone.

Also, this didn't get sent to the list: Thanks everyone. I've got it(nuvexport) running now. I actually really like how this works, just wish it was more automated and integrated into Myth. Question now is, how long should it take to encode a 30min show? It's starting to transcode now, and it's going about 8-9 Frames per second. That means it'll take maybe 1.5 hours to do a single episode. Is this normal? Also, does this address the sound issues I was having in mythburnDVD (only PCM sound on set-top box)?

Re: [mythtv-users] Archiving TV shows to DVD
Not sure off the top of my head. I think some shows are recorded in 480x480 and some in 704(?)x480. As for bitrates, that I can't remember. I'll have to check when I get home. I could never get a clear understanding of ratio of resolution to bitrate and what I should set them to respectively. However, whatever you guys recommend I'll do. I'd like to be able to at least fit 4 30 min shows on, or 2 one hour shows, at the bare minimum. This is regular cable broadcast and not HDTV and it's being recorded with a PVR-250. I started a process with nuvexport last night, we'll see how that goes. But again, I'm still looking for solutions that might be better/different/easier. I really like how MythBurnDVD works (menu creation, etc) but the sound just doesn't work. Also, does anything address AC3 sound?

I have had success recently in archiving shows from my pcHDTV-2000 card onto ordinary DVDs. To do this, the material has to be transcoded from 1080i or 720p down to 720x480 (the highest resolution supported by DVDs). After searching for ways to do this directly under Myth and Linux, the easiest way is to simply share the /myth/tv content over the network and use NeroVision Express (part of Nero 6) to transcode and burn the DVD. The time it takes is WAY too long, but at least it understands the MPEG-TS format directly and produces a DVD. I'd still love to find a way to do this under Linux, but I keep running into walls. I don't want a GUI program, just a button press that burns a DVD. (I have no window manager on my Myth box -- it is purely a set-top box.) __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [mythtv-users] Archiving TV shows to DVD
I've tried a lot of things, and here's the best solution I've found: nuvexport to dvd or mpeg2 (cutlist only). This generates the mpg file out of the NUV then I use dvdstyler to make the menus and place the mpegs. I burn an image, then burn the image to the dvd. voila! There are probably a lot of other ways to do it, but this one doesn't involve any commandline options. It's just "nuvexport" (menu select the videos) then dvdstyler, which is GUI. ahhh The dependencies are a little bit of a snag, but they are do-able. stick with that one if you can, whenever you hit a dep., just google it to find out what package it's in, and try to install it. I forget what I had to install, but I remember one of them was a tarball-only, I couldn't even find an ebuild for it. - Jeff On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 21:16:26 -0600, M S <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, I know this is has been asked before, but I can't seem to find > the right answer.
