I am recording the SD versions on a pvr-250. Well, I've tried various ways to transcode/downres the shows from the HD channels and I can get that working well enough for actual Mythfrontends. My problem is that I am also using some Hauppauge MediaMVP psuedo-frontends and I can't seem to get a working mencoder or other command to transcode down and play correctly, i.e. with correct A/V sync and the ability to skip forward/backward correctly. Yeah, that's really an issue for the MVP list, but that's why it's not a real suitable solution at the moment. Anyone care to share there favorite command lines to downres HDTV content? I know I can turn off duplicate checking but that's not ideal either. For instance, right now if you turn off duplicate checking you would get about 1000 different copies of "Revelations"... _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
