Sorry about your problems, it could be that my system is much simpler (a single FEBE without any extra modules added yet), but transcode works as advertised here. I assume you have a hauppage card that generates MPEG2? Here are my settings if you want to try them (I've set them for high-quality recording even if it takes forever to transcode, which it does), BUT it sounds like you may have more serious problems with your setup. mpeg2 encoders profile name default auto transcode after recording yes width 720 height 480 codec mpeg2 hardware encoder stream type dvd special 2 aspect 4:3 bitrate 6000 max bitrate 8000 sampling rate 48000 type layer 2 bitrate 384 kbps volume 95 transcoders transcoders from mpeg2 profile name mpeg2 resize video while transcoding no width 720 height 480 codec mpeg4 bitrate 2200 max quality 2 min quality 15 max q diff between frames 3 scale bitrate for frame size y enable hi-quality encoding y enable interlaced DCT encoding y enable 4MV encoding enable interlaced motion estimation codec mp3 sampling rate 32000 mpeg quality 7 volume 90 Hope this helps, good luck! -MG _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
