[mythtv-users] Writing VCD and SVCD

[ray cielencki]

since im running 0.11 and not cvs, i create svcds manually with trancode:

transcode -i /videofile.nuv -x mpeg2 -V -y mpeg -F s,2 -J 
skip="10000-14000 33000-37000" -E 44100 -b 128 -o showname
tcmplex -o showname.mpg -i showname.m2v -p showname.mpa -m s
vcdimager -t svcd -c showname.cue -b showname.bin -l SHOW 
--update-scan-offsets -v showname.mpg

you can find values for skip in the cutlist field of 
mythconverg.recorded or just omit the "-J skip=" to not have 
transcode cut out the commercials.
