[mythtv-users] nuvexport created xvid files play fine on PC buthave stutter and audio delay on TV

the purpose of the experiment was to use nuvexport to create the xvid AVI files using three different programs and to see which performed better and created a more desired output. what parameters nuvexport passes to individual programs is sorta macro fixed in the nuvexport scripts and driven by high level params like vbr, multi-pass, audio/video bitrate, how much to crop, whether to de-interlace or not, which nuvexport asks at the command line interactively and which you can specify using ~/.nuvexportrc to just keep hitting enter on each prompt after selecting shows.

Looking at two recent shows I transcoded with nuvexport with ffmpeg, I am beginning to like ffmpeg more and more!!

I am just wondering if I can replace the mythtv built-in "transcode to NUV" mechanism with nuvexport. Does anyone know if its possible? Its  just the initial show selection which is hard to automate.

Can you show us the exact command lines you used to run
ffmpeg/nuvexport/mencoder.  I am just now beginnning to explore the various
options for transcoding recording to save space.

Thanks,
Dave
