</div></div>Yes, you need a seektable for MPEG-2 videos in MythVideo. In -fixes,<br>
mythcommflag --rebuild (even with --video) is broken for most (all?)<br>
MPEG-2, so you should use mythtranscode --buildindex (with appropriate<br>
other flags, including the one that says to operate on a MythVideo<br>
video). See the wiki page:<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Repairing_the_Seektable" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Repairing_the_Seektable</a> (because I'm not<br>
providing all the info you need here).</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks Mike, mythtranscode (with aformentioned appropriate flags) did the trick handily.</div><div><br></div><div>-Jerry</div></div>
