Followup: Further tests seems to suggest that using --transcode with a single pass and no noise reduction gives virtually identical picture quality as transcode with multi-pass and noise reduction. The run time on that is 1h 28 minutes (still twice ffmpeg's time) and it plays perfectly in xine, mplayer, kaffeine, vlc. and Windows Media Player 9 and later. It shows slight jerkyness in Winamp and Windows DivX Player (older version). So this may be my new standard, its cleaner than ffmpeg. Down side: files are 21% bigger at 424221176 bytes. Now if I can just get the command line to work so I can run these nuvexport jobs from the backend I'll be happy. -- ----------JSA--------- _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
