Re: [Mvpmc-users] H2 MythTV connection lost

I use a python script I put together.  It provides a quick and dirty conversion - there are scenes where artifacts are visible, but it usually transcodes fast enough to allow me to start viewing right after the transcoding starts. My box  has a Sempron 2800 CPU.  It assumes Linux and requires both ffmpeg and transcode.

It's not "production ready", but if I haven't put you off yet, I can make it available.

Would you mind sharing your method of converting AVIs to MPEGs to be 
used on Mythtv/MVPMC combos?

Thanks.

advertised, it boots flawlessly. Thanks much for this work!

For my own curiosity, could you tell us what you did to make it work?

Also, I was one of those that had severe stuttering with the 2.4 kernel. 
However, when I decreased the NFS read and write buffers (can't see how 
the write buffer is relevant, but changed it anyway for the sake of 
consistency) from 4K to 2K the stuttering disappeared. I use NFS to view 
mythtv recordings and also MPEGs converted from AVIs. As an apparent 
beneficial side effect of decreasing the buffer sizes, viewed shows seem 
to get out of sync less often (in fact, haven't had this happen since). 
Don't know if this information helps anyone else, but thought I'd pass 
it along.
