Hi,
My Myth box seems to have achieved a high Child Acceptance
Factor (WAF not quite so good!) but unfortunately my disk is now
filling up rapidly with cartoon shows which need to be watched
repeatedly and never deleted!
Is there a straightforward way to transfer shows to DVD in a
sensible format for viewing on DVD players, etc. My recordings
are from DVB-T in TS format. I have tried transcode, but it fails
to run with the out-of-the box Myth settings (Myth 0.18.1 atrpms)
Any pointers much appreciated. And by the way I am a complete
newbie when it comes to DVD authoring.!
cheers,
Dave
I tried three options and all three failed in one way or another
:-( . I'll try to describe them here, and if somebody notices some
glarious goofs (or not so glarious) - I would greatly appreciate
the feedback. I am fairly new to DVD authoring, and to MythTV, and
I *have* to burn the shows on DVD for my reputation to survive...
1. mythburn. I got quite far with this... I downloaded from
sourceforge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/mythburn/>
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mythburn/), tinkered with
install.sh (changed directories and user/group names) and
successfully ran it:
MythWeb is installed at /var/www/html/mythweb
Installing DVD Menu option into MythWeb
However, there is no DVD menu option - there are *no* options under
MythWeb. I restarted backend, just in case - is there any last
steps to configure mythweb to enable this option?
I managed to get the button to show but when I run it it complains
during the framegrabbing that it can't get frame 6. I've seen
reference to that but no solutions
2. nuvexport - I got RPM from here
<http://forevermore.net/files/nuvexport/>
(http://forevermore.net/files/nuvexport/). It requires LVE library
which I got from sourceforge. But LVE doesn't compile
Again, under Knoppmyth this is installed but when I select Create DVD
it complains that the current screen is too small and to run it at
800x600 (my display is an NTSC tv)
3. Instructions from mythtv docs
<http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.20>
(http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.20): Step 2 says
Run *avidemux2* and open the .nuv file which corresponds with the
program you wish to burn to DVD.
when I do that, avidemux2 tells me that "This looks like mpeg. Do
you want to index it?". Sure... When I click on "Scan file for
audio stream", it finds Mpeg audio 0: 2 channels, 384 kbps shift
66s. So, indexing goes for couple minutes, and then it tells
"Beware: No valid audio codec found! Save(A+V) will generate bad
AVI. Save audio will work". Not only that, but the picture becomes
square (say, 4x4 instead of 4x3) and all objects deformed.
And on this front I just drag the NUV over to my Mac and process it
there but since I have a slow mac, this takes quite a bit of
processing. I'd rather do it all on the Myth box. preferably with
some working background script fired off from a selection like
MythBurn.
Any ideas? Please!
Felix
Felix, I haven't tried mythburn, I have tried the other two and
have found option 4 (ProjectX/dvdauthor) better :-)
Not perfect, but better. ProjectX allows you to cut out
unwanted segments without stuffing the audio/video sync, the
other two caused me problems in that area.
The only problem I've had with ProjectX/dvdauthor
is that the burnt discs won't play perfectly in some DVD
players. Seems to be something causing jumping/looping
problems. But hey, they work fine in mine (Pioneer).
cheers
Carl.
