I'm recording SD video from the a direct coax in on my PVR-150 card. From within the frontend GUI I've attempted to transcode a 1 hour recording of General Hospital (Not for me, I swear) using the Low Quality and Medium Quality default transcode options. Both fail - The error in the queue status is "exit status 255, job status was 'Errored'". I dug up some more info from the backend log:<br>

---------------------------<br><br>The only information that seems important to me is the "No video information found!" error. I'm attempting a transcode using MPEG-4 now and it's at 59% completed (at an impressive 78 fps on my dual core Pentium) so it's definitely gotten further than RTJPEG. Anybody have any ideas? I'm running Mythbuntu 7.10 upgraded to MythTV .21. Kernel version is 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Matt<br>
