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: 98 to 98

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

Here's a hint on how to get nuvexport to use the mythtv commercial cutlist when you export: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/MythTV_C2/Users_F11/Nuvexport_and_cutlist_P101885/

2004-03-14 - the vcd's I made of the Dedham episodes of the Practice worked fine on Linux using MPlayer but on Windows the sound's pitch was shifted way up. I think that's because I was recording at 32kHz and the nuvexport tool didn't transcode to 44.1kHz. Evidently MPlayer can deal with this but whatever crappy windows software came with the warthog couldn't. I first noticed this when I got this message from vcdimager:

++ WARN: audio stream #0 has sampling frequency 32000 Hz (should be 44100 Hz)

I'm not sure what the real fix is, but changing my mythtv recording profiles to record at 44.1kHz seems to work fine so I'll use that frequency from now on.
