Hi list,
If I time stretch a recording, the audio seems to get "gurgly" (minor,
sporadic, pitch or tempo changes). This is most notable with programs
that like to do big dramatic musical scores with lots of violins (think
West Wing). The strange part is that even if I set the time stretch

I've been having a wonky problem with the wrong "frame size" being
captured on my Matrox Marvel G400-TV. This results in the recording
being stretched out over the right edge of the screen. It also prints

I'm guessing that the system looks okay in the very early stages of
booting, before graphical boot starts?
I think the xorg.conf is attempting a video mode that your TV can't
handle. Unfortunately, I don't have a 350 so I can't advise you on how
to set it up right for X.

Here's a problem I've been having on my Myth box for the last couple of
weeks:
Every few days, even though I have about 100GB of disk space, and
auto-expire is set to "none", a lot of my recordings (sometimes all of
them) will get deleted. Not only that, but the box suddenly think it

Well, the "c" key will swtich between inputs on one card. The "y" key
will switch cards entirely.
Unfortunately, I have not personally dealt with a system where
different tuners were used for different channel ranges, so I don't
have more insight.

I don't recall the default settings for MPEG-4, but it's all about the
bitrate you select. If you want the transcoder to shrink file sizes,
you're going to need to select a bitrate less than the bitrate of the
source recordings. The default bitrate is probably pretty fat.
Also, be aware of the "

It seems like the submakes are either not finding mythconfig.make, or
are looking for mythconfig.make when they shouldn't.
