[mythtv-users] mythtranscode issues

[Ákos Maróy]

Hi,

I'm trying to use mythtranscode to transcode a recorded Live TV program
to some generic format. I'm having problems with the --profile option,
for example:

$ mythtranscode -i /home/tv/var/store/1040_20060918230910.nuv -p MPEG2
-o kulturhaz.mpg

2006-09-19 13:44:51.525 Transcoding aborted, no profile found.


here are the contents of the recordingprofiles table of my database:
