[00:08] <mrand> nerdful_things: /dev/sr0 is the device name.  You want the mount point (/media/cdrom0, for example)
[00:17] <nerdful_things> mrand, so in the optical/archive setup, i would use /media/cdromxinstead of /dev/dvd like it defaults to?
[00:21] <nerdful_things> om previous installs, archiving went ok with defaults. This install i can't even play a dvd, with all the "special" ligraries I usually put in from synaptic or MCC
[00:23] <nerdful_things> So I think I'm going to put in a new drive now, but want to archive stuff from the "recordings" folder. What is a good choice to do it manually? xvid, mp4, etc. I just want to edit files to fit on a dvd as data not autor a DVD. Thanks

[00:35] <myco> tgm4883 - they are both LCD tvs - one is CCFL backlit, the other is LED backlit
[00:35] <myco> LED backlit units tend to have a more pronounced flicker, but also dont have the backlights die so much and dont use as muich power
[00:49] <myco> worth saying it is far more important what panel technology you choose
[00:49] <myco> TN is cheap, has poor colour gamut, and changes colour even a little off angle
[00:50] <myco> IPS is the bees knees but traditionally a lil slow. cant be beat for colour and pretty much no change off angle
[00:51] <myco> PVA is sorta inbetween, but has better contrast iirc, and is faster then IPS (TN is the fastest)
[01:07] <nerdful_things> Hello, my mytharchive isn't working, so I'd like to know a quick way to save my mythtv recordings. I don't needf it in playable dvd, just .264, mp4, or other decent compressed files from ATSC recordings. want to edit commercials, and take clips from long programs, dump to usb flash, burn as data to dvd etc. Is Avidemux the best thing in the repo?
[01:35] <myco> mythtranscode will do half of the job if you mark edit points
[01:36] <_antant> evening
[01:37] <myco> after using that to edit you could use mythexport to make a portable version of the recording with a more highly compressed codec
[01:37] <myco> afternoon
[01:37] <_antant> lol
[01:37] <myco> how is it evening there????
[01:37] <_antant> we
[01:37] <_antant> ll
[01:37] <myco> 1am
[01:37] <_antant> half 1
[01:38] <myco> that would be classed dead of the night most places
[01:38] <_antant> close enough to evening
[01:38] <_antant> it's saturday
[01:38] <_antant> definitely evening
[01:38] <myco> good time to be raving
[01:38] <_antant> lol
[01:38] <myco> you dont rave in the evening
[01:38] <myco> qed it is not evening
[01:38] <_antant> not after last night
[01:38] <_antant> Gettin old
[01:39] <myco> u think u r?
[01:39] <_antant> Getting hard to handle 2 nights in a row
[01:40] <myco> wow - 50 already?
[01:40] <_antant> lol
[01:40] <_antant> bit over half that
[01:40] <myco> gawd ur a youngun
[01:41] <_antant> still feelin it
[01:42] <_antant> Don't suppose you've got a decent splash screen for an htpc?
[01:42] <myco> just leave the mythbuntu one alone myself - only see it every few weeks at most
[01:43] <_antant> Well mine's changed to a bloody ubuntu one

[01:43] <_antant> Want an xbmc one really
[01:43] <myco> check MCC
[01:44] <_antant> mcc?
[01:45] <_antant> ah
[01:45] <_antant> gotcha
[01:47] <myco> http://www.ghacks.net/2010/01/06/change-your-ubuntu-splash-screen-background/
[01:50] <_antant> yeah, plenty of tuts about it. just gotta find an xbmc one
[01:51] <_antant> screen, not tut
[01:53] <myco> or jus go with a black screen
[01:53] <nerdful_things> myco,  I am rebuilding my htpc, plus messing with other mythtv related builds. I just want to edit, split and save the ATSC recordings to another media, drive etc. My export and archive stuff is not working, and I am installing a new drive and want to start from scratch. So I just want to deal with existing recordings. Been looking at ProjectX to see if they need to be processed before or after editing, but page is in G
[01:53] <nerdful_things> erman. Google translate helps, but...
[01:54] <nerdful_things> BTW, I use a HDHomerun.
[01:55] <myco> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythvidexport.py of any help?
[01:55] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Mythvidexport.py - MythTV Official Wiki
[01:55] <myco> just moves em to videos, with metadata intact
[01:55] <myco> can be on a remote backend
[01:56] <myco> all i would do would be backup the database and recordings - seems simpler
[01:57] <nerdful_things> assume the mythtv is uninstalled, I just have the recordings folder...
[01:59] <myco> myself i would prolly jus use em as they are
[02:00] <myco> but if u wanted to edit and compress i would prolly use avidemux to edit without transcode, and handbrake to transcode
[02:05] <nerdful_things> I don't see handbrake in synaptic
[02:09] <myco> then put it there https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases

[02:39] <Zinn> [edge.launchpad.net] How do I use software from a PPA?

[02:49] <myco> so you did - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
[02:50] <nerdful_things> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:handbrake-ubuntu/ppa
[02:51] <myco> thats ur problem
[02:51] <myco> lrn2read
[02:52] <nerdful_things> thats what i copied and pasted from site...
[02:52] <myco> c&P above that i pasted
[02:53] <myco> which is from the instructions on the page i pasted
[02:53] <nerdful_things> just got same error
[02:54] <myco> yeah - for the old one you still have there
[02:55] <myco> should prolly remove ur mistake from your source list in synaptic
[02:55] <nerdful_things> oh ok
[02:55] <myco> not that it will hurt anything
[02:56] <myco> afaik
[03:04] <nerdful_things> ok, i removed all handbrake listings from sources.list that were added tonight...
[03:04] <nerdful_things> reloaded
[03:04] <nerdful_things> so what is cli that is correct?
[03:06] <myco> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
[03:11] <nerdful_things> ok i get the requesting key stuff ok as before, now for update....
[03:11] <nerdful_things> ah, this time no error
[03:12] <myco> :)
[03:13] <nerdful_things> Thanks. now, qt or gtk for avidemux? And why no lables on the bloddy edit buttons?
[03:16] <nerdful_things> One editor I liked on the Windows side was Womble video, no re-encoding after commercial cuts, wicked fast.
[03:16] <myco> can do the same in avidemux
[03:17] <nerdful_things> hmnn, gtk version shows button lables on hover, but not on qt version.
[03:19] <nerdful_things> I wish it was as easy as Total Recorder. Although I am getting used to Audacity in another linux distro...
[03:27] <nerdful_things> yuk mythtv recording plays about 1 frame per 5 seconds in VLC
[03:28] <nerdful_things> oh, it converted mpg to avi
[18:58] <dt3mp3st> hello
[19:00] <dt3mp3st> when I select watch tv i get waiting then bounce me back to menu
[19:21] <_antant> Can anyone give me some pointers on getting rid of the textual termination info when I'm powering down?
[20:44] <_antant> anyone online with a bit of xfce knowhow?
