Post subject:  Burning DVD's from nuv's
Does anybody have a formula for burning video DVD's from captures?

I'm using a 350 and I've moved some NUV's to another machine to play with and see if I can burn them. So far I've yet to perfect a method. These are the documents I've found on burning video DVD's in linux:

k3b also burns DVD's really well (data ones).

This has worked for me, using dvdauthor-0.5.4 and libdvb-0.5.0 with Knoppmyth R4V2.

dvb-mplex -t DVD -o /tmp/out.mpg /myth/tv/the-file-you-want.nuv
rm -rf dvd
dvddirgen -o dvd
dvdauthor -o dvd /tmp/out.mpg
dvdauthor -o dvd -T

# my dvd burner is at /dev/scd0; yours might not be
growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -dvd-video dvd

# To clean up the temp files, uncomment the next line:
#rm -rf dvd /tmp/out.mpg

I have once created a DVD with one of the recordings I made (PVR-350, 720x576, 4500/6000). Maybe this is not really what you're looking for since I'm not sure if you want to do it exclusively in Linux, but it worked well for me.

I just copied the .nuv file to a Windows box (not sure if I renamed it to .mpg). I installed the DVD authoring software that was bundled with my PVR-350 (uLead software, forgot the name). This software was very intuitive to use. Instead of burning it onto DVD you can also let the software create an ISO image which can be burnt on a different system should the Windows PC not host the DVD burner.

The result played back fine on a standalone DVD player with good quality.

Post subject:  Commercials?
Hi,

Does that script (or any others) automate the commercial removal process? One of the biggest reasons I picked Myth over a more stable Windows alternative was the ability to automatically remove commercials... I want to archive stuff and want to make life as easy as possible for the future, and I don't see any commercial project going out of their way to automate it (due to fears of a lawsuit) and scripting is difficult/impossible sometimes in Windows.

I've been reading the posts here and on the Myth mailing list and haven't seen a solution that shows how to take .nuv files, run a script and output ISO-ready images. Am I not looking hard enough or is because there isn't a way to do that yet? :?

You need to transcode the files first to edit out the commercials. Nuvexport will do this for you as it asks wheather you want to use the cutlist from mythtv (you might want to run through the cutlist to make sure that myth put the cuts in the right place though!).

I've been looking for a way to cut the commercials without a transcode, but the problem with the PVR-x50s are that they are in mpeg2 format, which really isn't designed for editing. If you just slice out the commercials without transcoding it messes up some of the frame information. At least that was what I gleaned from searching the Gossamer threads.
