I'm getting an error on mythtranscode that says Invalid video codec. The -m switch appears to fix the problem. -- jpn627

• This appears to be due to NULL values in the videocodec / audiocodec columns in the recordingprofiles table. A bypass for this problem is to use mythfrontend to update the recording profiles (under TV Settings) and edit each profile under the Transcoders group.--Jbrusey 11:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

honorcutlist

I had to modify the mythtranscode line to place --honorcutlist after the -i {file} option when doing mpeg2-to-mpeg2 lossless transcoding. I do not know if this change is necessary for any other transcode type, but it should be safe to make the change for any type.

Here is a link to that part of the source. It will not fully process this option unless found_infile, which is set true when processing option i.

P.S. It turns out that alone was not the problem. For some reason the cutlist is not loading upon transcode. So, I added:

CUTLIST=$(mythcommflag --getcutlist -f $VIDEODIR/$FILENAME | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/,/ /g')
ERROR=$?
if [ $ERROR -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "Copying cutlist failed for ${FILENAME} with error $ERROR"
        exit $ERROR
fi

Then I supply that to mythtranscode:

mythtranscode -i $VIDEODIR/$FILENAME --honorcutlist "$CUTLIST" -o $VIDEODIR/$FILENAME.tmp
