While in the edit mode, you can also load the pregenerated commercial detector cutlist with 'z'. Then you just transcode the recording. I don't use mythburn, maybe it can transcode while burning, maybe you need to do that ahead of time. I can routinely transcode an hour of DVB signal from 2 gigs to 1 of MPEG-4 with the same resolution (720x576) and no noticeable loss of quality, and lose the commercials while doing that. That doubles my storage capacity on the box, so I haven't bothered burning anything to disc since setting up the system a year ago. Could someone explaine a little bit more about that process. My system have no keyboard, just a pvr 350 remote. Map the 'e' and 'z' keys somewhere to your remote. You probably have the other keys required, ie cursor keys and either space or enter already mapped there. -- Osma Ahvenlampi [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.fishpool.org ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

So if you only nee it for mythburn, you shouldn't need to worry about getting the cutlist data yourself.

Re: [mythtv-users] cutlist
In my opinion it is essential to have a keyboard to edit the cutlist, I have a knoppmyth boot cd that I use as a frontent to do this very task. The autogenerated cut list does a decent job, but never perfect from my experience. On 1/29/06, Jens Baumeister [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! On 1/29/06, Claude Gélinas agr.

The cutlist that commercial flagging produces needs some attention before it's perfect.

Re: [mythtv-users] cutlist
As I read it the OP wanted some explanation about the cutlist process, then processing the video via mythburn. Since Osama did such a good job describing the editing process, I felt compelled to share some additional information, an alternative to editing the cutlist should the author find the need to have a keyboard, a second computer with a bootable knoppmyth cd would be the only essentials. The advantage to this is that you arent using your TV and preventing others from watching TV.

Ok I've added some setup for unused button in the .lircrc file to get the function I needed to edit the cutlist. As I understand, the cut position are inside the .nuv file produced by myth. When I edit the cut list to cut the stuff recorded before and after the program I needed to record I can see that the commercial are already gone. are they removed during recording and is there a way to keep them to check the accuracy of myth on flagging commercial and is needed to fine tune the cutting. another point. when I first hit the e button to enter the edit mode I get an ugly bottom bar which exceed on each side of the screen. I can't see the beginning and the end of that bar. If I play with the e button I finally get a fine bar with the cutting position inside a neat rectangle which is away from the screen side. Finally is there a way to include chapter mark to be passed to mythburn. I frequently record educative program that have many subject so I want to mark these subject to get a separate chapter on the DVD after.

Re: [mythtv-users] Cutlist to ProjectX format?
There was a lot of talk about using ProjectX a while back, and I am pleased with the way it is working. THe only thing missing, is to get it to use the Myth cutlists. I guess the basis is that I don't understand what units the cutlists are stored in... I tried it as I posted before, and I got a pristine file of just commercials! :) I found one thing to make the issue better... I changed the sed syntax to this: sed -e s/\\\n/\n/g; s/ - /\n/g; s/^0\n//g cutlist.txt cutlist2.txt This does 3 things: remove the \ns, the dashes between the cut points, and the first 0 entry. This seems to flop the cutlist successfully, provided I have a 0 at the first (a cutpoint at any point that deletes all the way back to the beginning). This is a fair expectation for me, as I tend to start the recording a few seconds early, and want to dispose of the satellite provider's OSD anyway. Again, if anyone else is using ProjectX, with cutlists or not, speak up. I can see how this might be a good drop-in update to the flakey MythBurn engine... but will probably need some help, at least people with some know-how...! ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Speak, speak, speak :) I haven't gotten cutlists to go, but after the aggravation of getting Java and ProjectX all happy together about two weeks ago, I was pleased to discover that it actually clean up semi-broken MPEG2 streams. It is definately much less picky about broken A/V sync than avidemux. It has lots of potential as a new engine (or at least a basis for rewrite) for doing lossless MPEG2 cutting. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to work on the cutlisting at all. I will speak encouraging words to those who are, however... :) -Cory * * Cory Papenfuss* * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * * ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
