Sounds good that you've got something functional. I've never
tried to get mythburn to go as the requirements are a bit vague. It's set
up for knoppmyth, no?
Does it require the database to extract the cutlists? I'm just
thinking in terms of making maybe a partial script that can exist without
the whole mythbox. Just a .sql/nuv combo would be great.

I have been using this version with the patch successfully. The one

A basic calculation of required disk space is already done by the script
that does the actual data processing; currently it doesn't do more than
just print a warning. To actually get that estimate right needs to take
more into account than is currently done
- size of the menus generated (depends mostly on #of titles and on
animated menus on or off)
- amount of stuff removed by commercial cutting.
ProjectX is mainly a demultiplexer with cutting capabilities thrown in.
So workflow would be
1) demux/cut using projectx
2) recode the seperated video and/or audio streams using something else
(tcrequant?, ffmpeg?)
3) remux with empty vobus thrown in, I'll probably stick with mplex.
I don't want to skip the projectx demux step even though there are
products taht wold let me do cut+recode in one step: This step is where
cleanup of mpeg problems and audio sync issues happens; running
avidemux2 on the raw recordings got me quite a few problems with sync
and bad files. Possibly even wors with PVRxx recordings.
...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.
Shouldn't be too hard, I'll just have to experiment a bit to see which
process gives reasonable results and where to draw the line on what the
limits of compression/reencoding are.
Bye, Martin
