[Sussex] MythTV .. command line usefulness...

[nik]

So I found a project called transcode ( and it works with Debian apt-get 
) and unline nuvexpoert its not looking for myth recordings ( cheers 
anyway Ritchie ). meanwhile i found this .. 
http://korova.dyne.org/video_streaming/x158.htm which lead me to this, 
note that i had to add an extra arguement  (   -x mpeg2,vob  ) to fix 
the demuxer.c invalid program stream issue.

heres what I did to simulare a test


sleep 1m && killall dd
dd if=/dev/video0 of=tst.mpg2
tcode tst.mpg2 tst.mpg4

the mpg2 at just under 1m long is 70MB big..
the mpg4 is approximately 3.5MB big..

Much better...



where tcode contains..

tcode.sh
#!/bin/bash
transcode -i ./$1  -y ffmpeg -x mpeg2,vob  -F msmpeg4 -w 300 -V -N 0x55 
-b 64 -Z 480x576,fast -o $2


Next stop... ripmaker to encoder the mp4 to svcd !
