I tried using mythtranscode to cut off the unnecessary parts of a recorded programme - I used this command:<br><br>mythtranscode -c <chan> -s <time> --mpeg2 --honorcutlist --profile autodetect --mpeg2 --showprogess
<br><br>Everything seems to run fine but I am left with a recording which has been "mangled". There is still a cutpoint some minutes from the start, roughtly where I put it, and everything before that point is whatever was on tv before the programme (ie. the cutlist has not been honored with regards to the first cutpoint. The length of the programme (pressing 'i' during playback) shows that the total run length of the programme is roughly right (didn't actually note it down but is seems ok). Weird thing is that once I get to the total length of the actually programme mythtv continues playing the recording but seeking is impossible.
<br><br>Will mythtranscode not re-write the file?<br><br>I also noticed that when seeking inside the recording, the "key frames(?)" show garbled video (chunky with boxes all over the picture) but playback seems ok. Is that as expected?
<br><br>Thanks,<br>Søren<br>
