Just a quick question to the ones that seem to understand how this works:
Is the cutting -- A/V sync-question only an issue when wanting to
remove commersials?
Not intrinsically, but practically, yes. The streams produced by
ivtv aren't necessarily *broken*, they're just a little more complicated
than most linux tools expect. If you're not trying to cut out
commercials, you might be able to remux (using replex or dvb-mplex)
*without* demuxing/remuxing. In that case, you just insert the VOBU
streams (required for DVD authoring) as it goes without having to
demux/remux. I have had some streams where these tools get confused
anyway, though.
An earlier post in this thread seems to indicate that this is an issue
generally when transforming PVR MPEG2 recordings to DVD. Have I
understood this correctly?
Most of the time, transforming to DVD assumes that you want to
remove the commercials, I'd think.
Personally, I think that the issue of not having the ability to create
a (standard compliant) DVD from the recordings in a simple way, is the
one thing that sets MythTV back in WAF.
:-)
True, but it's not just an issue with mythtv. There are a couple
of frontends (mythtvburn looks pretty sexy, for instance). The trouble is
that the backend tools don't exist in non-broken form. The mythtv devels
are busy working on the stuff they want to, which tends to be PVR-related
stuff... not mpeg crunching utilities. Those should rightly be reserved
for some backend engine... it just happens to not exist completely yet...
