I just did a fresh install of R5A15.1, and it is SWEET! Nice work, Cesman and team!!

I'm most excited about the DVD burning capabilities right out of the box with this release. I am having two problems with nuv2disc, though.

1) Nuv2disc worked without flaws to create the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directories, and I believe it even created an ISO. When I tried to actually burn to disc, I received an error: "DVDrecord error." That's it. I have an older DVD-R drive... is it possible it's just not compatible? Is there some config of my drive that needs to be done?

2) The thumbnails in the menus created by nuv2disc are upside down and bluish. A search of knoppmythwiki revealed that for the mythtvburn scripts, the simple removal of a few -z and -k switches would fix the problem. Can anyone tell me if it's that easy for nuv2disc, and which scripts I need to edit?

Thanks for the new release, and for any help!!!

PASOTF? Known problem. Looking here and on the wiki should turn the answer up within seconds. Search for all terms - blue, upside down.

Everything in the forums and the wiki thus far are related to MythBurn. I am having the same issue with nuv2disc. Thus, the instructions for fixing MythBurn are not helpful.

That said, I spend an hour or so this morning poking around in the scripts and config for nuv2disc, and I believe I found the offending argument.

For anyone else having the problem:



remove the -k and -z switches from the line that begins with



I'm hoping that'll do the trick for me. Will post with confirmation after I've made a disc.

This is EXACTLY the same fix as for mythburn which makes the posting I pointed you to 100% relevant. Almost all of these "different" utilities use the same components under the covers and thus suffer the same bugs.

Right, and I assumed it would be a similar fix... but nothing in the forum or the wiki had any indication of which script needed to be edited, so I ended up searching through 20 or so scripts to find it... I was just looking for a shortcut.

Anyway, removing the switch from that script did the trick... DVD layouts are perfect. Now if I can just figure out why it won't actually burn the disc, I'll be golden.

Make sure you have setup commonvars for your system.
Commanvars has default's that should work for most people but everybody's system is different.

The short cut is called "find". Try this in the appropriate directory for nuv2disk:

It will find every occurance of the string "transcode" in any file under that directory.
