That seems a bit heavy handed - you should be able to generate DVD compliant VOBs from random mpeg2 streams by splitting the stream with mpeg2desc (I use mpeg2desc -a 0 -o audio -v 0 -o video >/dev/null) and remultimplexing with tcmplex (tcmplex -m d -o $name.vob -i video -p audio). You get mpeg2desc from the dvddauthor port and tcmplex from the transcode port. Don't try and use FIFOs between mpeg2desc and tcmplex, it doesn't work. Fifos seem to work with mplex but often (IME) generate broken VOBs :( > Preferably I'd rather be able to dump the captured MPEG stream directly > to dvdauthor and be done with it, unfortunately I have to > split the stream into audio/video, then re-multiplex, then I can feed it > to dvdauthor. This is probably necessary, I suspect that the output from the PVR-350 lacks the DVD NAV (VOBU) packets required by dvdauthor (and DVDs). -- C:>WIN | Solar Thermal Systems The computer obeys and wins. | http://www.soleire.com/ You lose and Bill collects. | Directable Mirror Arrays | http://www.sohara.org/
