Version 0.4.9_p20070325  works

Version 0.4.9_p20070330 doesn't work

[Comment 1 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-04-10 14:21:26 UTC]

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

[Comment 2 Hasse Hagen Johansen 2007-04-11 11:25:58 UTC]

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

[Comment 3 Hasse Hagen Johansen 2007-04-11 15:32:54 UTC]

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

[Comment 4 Mark Purtill 2007-04-20 23:58:29 UTC]

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.

[Comment 5 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-04-21 04:55:39 UTC]

This should be a non-issue for the only MythArchive currently in the tree as that has been patched a while ago.

[Comment 6 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-04-21 04:55:53 UTC]

As I stated above..
