[mythtv-users] Anyone managed to burn standard DVDs

[Jonathan Markevich]

Hi all,

Yes, I had this problem for a long time.  The problem is with 
Hauppauge/ivtv and demuxing to put in the DVD frame information.

The Hauppauge captures are not 100% pristine. In order to keep the video 
intelligibly in sync when watching live, when the signal has (even 
invisible) glitches, it inserts duplicate video frames, and most remux 
utilities don't account for that. When remuxed with these, the more 
duplicates it comes across, it gets farther and farther out of sync.

One solution (the hard way, but possibly more technically correct):

Another - more ugly - is to transcode them to something like DivX first, 
then retranscode them back.  This seems to fix it.

I haven't come across this problem in a long time, though I have been 
transcoding to remove commercials and that seems to be fine, and 
creating DivX after that.  I don't have as much need for proper DVDs as 
I thought I did.
