[mythtv-users] mytharchive themes

[Roy Lofthouse]

Hi Paul, I finall figured it out...I was taking the newfile.mpg and using
that as the source for the intro when I needed to be taking the
newfile2.mpg(which seems to get deleted at some point)..

I just re-ran "ffmpeg -v 1 -i "/mymedia/DVDTemp/work/1/newfile.mpg" -r pal
-target dvd -b 9000 -s 720x576 -acodec ac3 -ab 192 -ac 2 -copyts -aspect
16:9 "/mymedia/DVDTemp/work/1/newfile2.mpg" -pass 1no -passlogfile 1logfile
-map 0:0 -map 0:1" to get the file again and all is now well....

Thanks for your time.
