I have tried both methods described in the "Installing and Using MythTV" document, and neither one works. One uses a script like this:
=================================================== #!/bin/sh mkfifo aud0 mkfifo vid0 mkfifo dvdmpg mpeg2desc -a0 < $1 > aud0 & mpeg2desc -v0 < $1 > vid0 & mplex -f 8 -V -o dvdmpg aud0 vid0 & dvdauthor -o $2 -f dvdmpg dvdauthor -o $2 -T rm aud0 rm vid0 rm dvdmpg =================================================================== When I try this, the result is: DVDAuthor::dvdauthor, version 0.6.10. Build options: gnugetopt magick iconv freetype fribidi Send bugs to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> INFO: dvdauthor creating VTS INFO: [mplex] mplex version 1.6.3-rc1 (2.2.3 $Date: 2004/01/13 20:45:26 $) STAT: Picking VTS 01 STAT: Processing dvdmpg... Could not read **ERROR: [mplex] Unable to read from aud0. At this point, it hangs. I have to control-C out of it, then kill off the shell and mplex processes, and remove the fifo files. It creates the directory and the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS subdirectories, but they are empty. The problem is that "mpeg2desc" doesn't actually work. If I try running one of those commands by itself, the result is: $ mpeg2desc -a0 < 1007_20050611160000_20050611163000.nuv > 1.mp2 Could not read Just that, nothing more helpful. Using -v0 instead of -a0 gives the same result. It takes about 15 seconds before the error occurs, but the output file is empty. The second method involves using avidemux2 to split the audio and video. When I do this, separately save the audio and video, then run: $ mplex -f 8 -o 1.mpg 1.m2v 1.mp2 INFO: [mplex] mplex version 1.6.3-rc1 (2.2.3 $Date: 2004/01/13 20:45:26 $) **ERROR: [mplex] File 1.m2v unrecogniseable! INFO: [mplex] File 1.mp2 looks like an MPEG Audio stream. **ERROR: [mplex] Unrecogniseable file(s)... exiting. I am fairly sure the problem here is that the 1.m2v file is actually MPEG-4 rather than MPEG-2 which I think it should be: $ file 1.m2v 1.m2v: MPEG sequence, v4, video, simple @ L1 How do I get avidemux2 to savee the video as MPEG-2? Am I doing something else wrong? Thanks for any help or pointers to web sites or other documentation. --Greg
