Re: Archiving TV shows to DVD [In reply to]

I beat my head on this wall with my PVR-250 and 350 also. The only
solution I found was to use VideoReDO. This windows program has a tool
called QuickStream Fix. It can read the nuv file directly and remux it
for editing or buning directly to DVD.

Hmm... sounds interesting. I tried Cory's trick with avidemux this
weekend, and it didn't seem to help, either.

My sync issues are especially odd since I do NOT get sync problems
when editing TV that was captured manually with cat.

Re: Archiving TV shows to DVD [In reply to]

I get this output when doing step 2 below. I don't know why I am having
such problems with audio. Any ideas? I have 100 GB of TV shows to put
on DVD and I'm running out of room fast.

What about it? Your PVR-350 recordings don't have it and your DVDs don't
need it.

How big is the file you are working with? IIRC, I had a similar error
when I was using a version of lvemux that wasn't compilied with large
file support (> 2GB). I got the source and compiled it with "gcc
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" and that solved my problem.

Re: Archiving TV shows to DVD [In reply to]

If i go through any of the steps that are recommened to burn PVR-250
recordings to disc, I get no sound on either my windows box or my
set-top player. It's not the media, I've tired + and -. I CAN get
sound on my set-top playe IF I manually configure the player to play
PCM instead of Bitstream audio. This is a pain in the butt. I think
I've found a solution, but not sure... I'll have to try tonight, but
this is what I'm trying:

1) Record PVR-250
2) Edit cutlists
3) Nuvexport MPEG2->MPEG2 Cut
4) Copy to Apple OS X
5) Run ffmpegX (make sure to have mpeg2 qt plugin)
6) Convert to DVD w/AC3 audio
7) Make DVD w/iDVD

We'll see what happens when I try and burn it to disk

Actually, DVDs do need AC3 audio. It's part of the DVD-Video spec. A disc
that only has MPEG audio isn't guaranteed to play on all DVD players.

There is an encoder (BeSweet) that runs under Windows to produce stereo and
multichannel AC3, but I don't know if there is an AC3 encoder that works
with Linux. (Maybe BeSweet runs under WINE...last time I tried it, though,
not much ran under WINE at all.)

Re: Archiving TV shows to DVD [In reply to]

I have been having the same problem with lvemux as previously posted:

supermario temp # lvemux -r -1 -sh 0 -v inputfile.m2v -a
inputfile.mp2 \ -o
/var/mythburn/temp/1071_20050319220000_20050319233000.nuv
GOP timestamps will be rebuild
ERROR: opening A/V streams (0/0)

I'm on gentoo, so while emerging lve, i hit ctrl-z and went to check
the makefile.

Every file in the package is compiled with " -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE ".

This show I am trying to do this with was taken from a PVR250MCE, and
is about 3.3 gigs.
