MVP transcoding with TS Mux

[daneo]

Dear Sub,

after moving to the TS Mux option, I've noticed sync issues with the ffmpeg transcoding for my MVP, but also had some less critical issues with the Cyberlink variant.

I decided to move to the latest version of ffmpeg (Sherpya-r13778) but found that the command line for transcoding TS copy/copy crashed ffmpeg with a video stream error (which the older version shipped with GBPVR gracefully ignores).

I came up with a transcoding stream that my MVP nicely accepts:

Code:

<MVPFFmpegTranscodeTS>-y -i "{SOURCE_FILE}" -b 10000k -acodec copy {DEST_FILE}</MVPFFmpegTranscodeTS>

forcing a full recode of the MPEG2 TS video stream, but leaving audio alone so the whole process is pretty fast. Note that I don't use any of the AC3-encoded DVB streams so it's not an issue.

Moving to the newer FFMPEG version clears up the audio/video sync issues for me (typically glitches in the DVB stream at beginning or middle of recordings).

I can also confirm that the MVP issues due to umlauts are fixed with the short file name option.

Regards,
Dane
