Hi, At the National Library of Wales we're looking to implement an off-air recording system to ingest into our digital asset management system, and we're interested in MythTV as a front- end (as it has all the scheduling smarts etc.) then ingesting the datastreams & metadata from MythTV into our DAMS. I've a few questions:
UK DVB cards/receivers - which would you recommend? We'd like to be able to capture subtitles and get metadata from the EPG. Direct MPEG2 capture would be the ideal, possibly transcoding to MPEG4. FM Radio Cards - I can't see how to get MythTV to use the FM function of the PVR350 we're experimenting with. How would we use external tuners and a soundcard audio input for this? If there's no 'video source' for the scheduling data how do we set up a channel that does nothing except record audio without associated data? (and can we manually add data through the fronted?) Multiple backends - I can't see an overview of how this works - is there one? From what I can understand, you configure additional backends with additional capture cards, and the master backend farms out the capture work to the others - correct? Where does transcoding take place? Are these jobs shared out intelligently, or does transcoding always occur on the backend which captured the programme? Sorry to have put so many questions into one post - please reply if you've answers to any of the above, I'm not expecting anybody to have all the answers! -- Illtud Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Uwch Ddadansoddwr Systemau Senior Systems Analyst Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru National Library of Wales Yn siarad drosof fy hun, nid LlGC - Speaking personally, not for NLW
