[mythtv-users] Avidemux doesn't finish on some recordings

[James Alexander]

I'm using Fedora Core3, with mythtv 0.18.1 and am using nuvexport to cut the
commercials out of recordings for export to other computers. I have of
course run the commercial flagging utility of mythtv, and have made the
cutlist for the recording. Also, I installed avidemux seperately to that I
could have this functionality, and it works great on some recordings. Others
it stops prematurely with a small error printed toward the bottom that I
have been unable to identify. Here is the output of nuvexport for first a
recording that exported correctly (The Daily Show), then one that stops
prematurely (Comedy Central Presents) on the bottom.

Let me know what I can do to this recording to make this process work.
Thanks in advance,
