Most folks buy their TV's at places like Sears or Best Buy, and there's a lot to be said for plunking your credit card down and driving home with a functional television set. But that's not my style. I've been using a Commodore 64 color monitor hooked up to a VCR since the late 80's and it's worked great. On the other hand, VCR's are going the way of the dodo and a 13" television with weak mono sound isn't much fun so I should probably upgrade.

Line: 79 to 79

2004-02-24 - I'd like to be able to record shows and archive them onto cd or dvd. http://www.forevermore.net/mythtv/ has a tool that transcodes mythtv's file format into formats that can be burned onto disk. Need to try it out.

2004-02-25 - I tried running nuvexport (see above) and it seemed to work OK, but it takes a long time to run. An hour-long show takes 6 hours to transcode to SVCD-quality mpeg, and ends up as an 850mb file. Transcoding to VCD takes the same time but results in a 644MB file so it looks as if it will fit on a CD. Then vcdimager turns it into something that cdrdao can write onto the disk. Hardly user-friendly.

 $ nuvexport (runs interactively)
 $ vcdimager practice1-vcd.mpg
 $ cdrdao write --simulate --device 0,0,0 videocd.cue

Our standalone DVD player doesn't seem to like the CD-R media, but it plays in mplayer just fine.
