It ends up that mythtranscode was not resizing the video. My frontend was crashing any time it tried to play video bigger than the screen. I got it to resize and playback looks really good compared to the analog recordings from my PVR-350 (can you say snowstorm?). Anywhere I can find pointers on getting the aspect ratio right? The HDTV signal is broadcast for a wide screen TV, but I just have a standard TV. I end up with black bars on all sides of the video. Also, is there anyway to transcode to MPEG2 so that I can use the PVR-350 hardware decoder for playback? I tried to get nuvexport running, but it just gets errors on FC4. -Ian
