<br>My mythbox has been working quite well for the past year or so (this includes typical TV transcoding). However, in this instance, when I try to transcode the TV show, it errors, without too much information. What makes this problem unique is that this is the first time I'm trying to transcode (1) an HDTV show, and (2) a TV show that is 25GB in size.<br>
<br>I checked the mythweb logs, but all it says is that it errored. Here are the mythbackend logs in relation to the failed transcode, but I don't see anything that really jumps out and say "I'm the error!!":<br clear="all">
