I have some video I put on my Myth box from my analog video camera - which Myth saved as mpeg-2 files. I'm trying to use these files in a program called Avid FreeDV, but it won't accept mpeg imported files. I need to change them to quicktime .mov files. I tried to have Myth transcode them to .mov but it appears the quicktime plugin for transcode isn't installed by default....unless I'm going about this the wrong way.

From the command line, I did this:

Code:

mythtv@pvr:/myth/tv$ transcode /myth/tv/annerandom.mpg -o annerandom.mov -y vmod /export mov
transcode v0.6.14 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2004 T. Bitterberg

Is it possible to transcode to .mov?
If so, I don't know how.

The first problem is the lack of an input file flag. You did

Code:

transcode /myth/tv/annerandom.mpg -o annerandom.mov -y vmod /export mov

instead of

Code:

transcode -i /myth/tv/annerandom.mpg -o annerandom.mov -y vmod /export mov

But, yes, it does look like the transcode was built without .mov export included. You could either read up on how to rebuild ffmpeg with QuickTime support, or just grab a Mac program to do the transcoding for you. Try ffmpegX?

I cannot compile ffmpeg to play/transcode to every codec under the sun... That is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
