Hello everyone, i recently setup an hdpvr using mythtv trunk and seem to have everything working great, except for the life of me i cannot figure out how to transcode the hdpvr files. There are two things i would like to do to each newly recorded show: 1) Cut the commercials out but retain full quality, 2) cut commercials and transcode to lower resolution h264 or xvid for playback on xbox's running xbmc. I have tried the mythnuv2mkv.sh script, but it errors with this output on each attempt:<br>
