Since the files play back properly, that would rule out MythTV and ivtv as the source of the problem. nuvexport appears to not work at all for me...it grinds away for several minutes but ends up producing nothing. I have copied several MPEG-2 program streams over to a Windows box and edited them with a combination of DVD2AVI, Avisynth, LAME, BeSweet, and TMPGEnc. The DVDs that I've made from shows processed this way have all worked flawlessly, with no sync problems. That would also rule out MythTV and ivtv as the source of your problem; it sounds more like an issue with nuvexport and/or the apps nuvexport calls on to do its work. (What those issues would be, though, I don't know. I haven't had much time to play with nuvexport yet, and I suspect that if I want to put Enterprise on DVD at 4400 kbps video, I'd probably get better quality by recording at a higher (6000-8000 kbps) rate, editing, and reencoding with TMPGEnc at 4400 kbps VBR than by recording at 4400 kbps (the PVRx50's encoder is CBR, right?) and dumping that to DVD. I've not tried a comparison of the two, but my gut instinct is that at a given target bitrate, a non-real-time software encoder can produce better results than a real-time hardware encoder.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
