Hi Chris,
Thks for the tip. I built nuvexport successfully, but can't seem to get
it to work. I can see it start mythtranscode, but the transcode command
doesn't seem to do anything, the following message is displayed while
mythtranscode is running:
Encode started: Wed Dec 22 00:05:50 2004
Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.
Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.

Starting transcode.
processed: 0 of 0 frames (0.00%), 0 fps
transcode finished.
I have transcode v0.6.14 and xvid installed, which are prerequisite. Do
you have any suggestions how to fix this?
Thks,
Chris
