This version uses projectx for remux and commercial cutting. Cutting is
NOT frame accurate, projectx rounds to the nearest GOP. Avidemux2 (which
was used for cutting previosuly) doesn't round - it just produces broken
output files if your cutpoints aren't on a Keyframe.
Requirements:
- projectx (well, obviously )
- Xvfb or local X server
See http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=32174#32174 for
details.
Changes implemented:
- support for multiple audio streams. Commerical cut or remux will keep
around all audio streams from the original recording. If you've got
recordings with multiple audio streams (say, german and english streams)
you'll get a DVD that allows you to switch languages. I haven't yet
figured out how to find out which stream has which langauge and get this
info over to the DVD, so the audio streams won't have nice names.
- chapter submenu is optional and configurable via the web interface.
while I like having the chapter marks in my titels I don't like the
chapter submenu.
- blue face / upside down thumbnails configurable via variables at the
top of mythtvburn.sh
- add a title listbox to the "burn DVD" webpage similar to the listbox
in "recorded programs". makes it much easier to pick a couple of
episodes from the same series.
- if commercial cutting is disabled, revert to old behaviour and use
cutpoints as chapter marks
I have been using this version with the patch successfully. The one
feature that would be nice is to look at the total time of the selected
shows and if > DVD length (4gig?) transcode them using a different
bitrate to make the shows fit on one DVD. This wouldn't normally be used
for just putting one 2hour show on a DVD, but I have a bunch of 30
minute shows I would like to put on a DVD for storage and don't care if
the quality is reduced some to make them fit. Kind of like what
DVDShrink does, but done as the videos are being processed with remplex
instead of after the DVD has been authored. There are some formula's on
the web for calculating the bitrate to make them fit on one disk, but
I'm not sure if ProjectX can be used to reduce the bitrate or if it will
take another step somewhere.
Thanks,
James
