When I am using mytharchive to archve. I get this when it tries to run ffmpeg: FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --shlibdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-static --enable-shared --cc=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --disable-altivec --disable-debug --disable-dv1394 --disable-opts --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libogg --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-liba52 --enable-pthreads --enable-xvid --enable-x11grab --enable-libogg --enable-libdts --enable-x264 --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-gpl --enable-pp --disable-strip libavutil version: 49.4.0 libavcodec version: 51.40.2 libavformat version: 51.11.0 built on Apr 9 2007 18:49:57, gcc: 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2) Input #0, mpeg, from '/mytharchive/work/1/newfile.mpg': Duration: 00:44:56.7, start: 0.360000, bitrate: 6477 kb/s Stream #0.0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x528, 7500 kb/s, 25.00 fps(r) Stream #0.1[0x1c0]: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, 384 kb/s Assuming PAL for target.

The previous version works 3. Version 0.4.9_p20070325 works Version 0.4.9_p20070330 doesn't work
So previous versions work then a newer CVS snapshot that's 5 days newer doesn't work. Sounds like a commit in ffmpeg in those 5 days broke something. Let's see if the ffmpeg guys can tell us what, because MythTV hasn't changed anything it's doing with ffmpeg for a while
I am sorry. The working version was not 0.4.9_p20070325 but 0.4.9_p20070129 I am sorry misleading you. I will try 0.4.9_p20070325 and see if it fails like 0.4.9_p20070330
I tried 0.4.9_p20070325 it fails too. So 0.4.9_p20070325 & 0.4.9_p20070330 fails but 0.4.9_p20070129 works
It seems that the -ab flag value of ffmpeg changed from being kbit/s to bit/s between 0.4.9_p20070129 and 0.4.9_p20070330, so that's probably at least part of the problem.
This should be a non-issue for the only MythArchive currently in the tree as that has been patched a while ago.
As I stated above..
