[mythtv-users] Nuvexport just dies.

Mon Apr 19 15:43:02 EDT 2004

I am trying to transcode files from my PVR-250 to make SVCDs.  Could 
someone point out what I am doing wrong here?  Or point me to a list where 
I can post questions about nuvexport.

It seems like export_mpeg2enc.so or export_mp2enc.so isn't making a file 
of fifo that export_mpeg2enc.so cmd=mpeg2enc is expoecting.  See towards 
the end of this log, where it says.

(decode_mpeg2.c) video write failed.
