I have a self-built 0.22.
I am trying to rip and transcode DVDs. I've never tried transcoding
with myth; I've always done this manually with mencoder, so I figured
this was a good opportunity to get up to speed on Myth transcoding. I
apparently have some cruft left over in the database as the transcode
job is failing:
06:36:16: launching job: job dvd 1 1 2 0 -1 /data20/mythtv/movies/Australia
06:36:54: transcode command will be: 'transcode -i
/data20/mythtv/tmp/Australia/vob/ -g 720x480 -M 2 -y xvid,null -o
/dev/null --log_no_color -R 1,twopass.log'
06:36:54: job thread beginning to rip dvd title
06:58:49: job thread finished ripping dvd title
06:58:53: Error: Exiting runTranscode(1) transcode exit code: 252
I symlinked /usr/local/bin/mythtranscode to transcode (for some reason
using mythtranscode in the Setup options didn't take).
When I run the transcode command by itself I get:
selene:/data20/mythtv/tmp# transcode -i
/data20/mythtv/tmp/Australia/vob/ -g 720x480 -M 2 -y xvid,null -o
/dev/null --log_no_color -R 1,twopass.log
