I believe I made a breakthrough! http://pastebin.com/m252c2bd
I compiled ffmpeg myself. What I noticed is two things. 1. The mythexport is calling for "aac" support when ffmpeg does not recognize that as a proper codec. FFMPEG is looking for "libfaac". nice -n19 ffmpeg -i /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1061_20080422190000.mpg -acodec aac -ab 192kb -vcodec mpeg4 -b 600kb -mbd 2 -flags +4mv+trell -aic 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -s 320x240 '/home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/mythexport/Turner-Network-TV_NBA_Basketball_Dallas_Mavericks_at_New_Or.mp4' 2>&1 FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-swscaler --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-libgsm --enable-dc1394 --disable-debug --enable-shared --prefix=/usr libavutil version: 1d.49.3.0 libavcodec version: 1d.51.38.0 libavformat version: 1d.51.10.0 built on Mar 12 2008 15:36:03, gcc: 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu4) /home/anubis/store/mythtv/video/1061_20080422190000.mpg: I/O error occured Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted. 2. There is no "libfaac" support compiled into mediabuntu's ffmpeg. Thus resulting in the file error.
