| [00:00:28] | Sabotender: | this destructive loop should be banned completely. it should not be allowed to record in the same directory to which live TV streams are being written. There should be a massive warning, or come whatever. |
| [00:01:58] | Sabotender: | this is an important issue. |
| [00:01:58] | Sabotender: | Apparently, I'm not the only user who had made this configuration...snafu |
| [00:02:23] | mack: | Probably not. |
| [00:02:26] | Sabotender: | lol. nevertheless, I have a question regarding transcoding, if I may. |
| [00:02:43] | mack: | But more config options are usually better than fewer. |
| [00:04:00] | Sabotender: | so, what are the best settings to convert these files into a format that results in smaller file sizes, but with little to no loss in quality? |
| [00:06:00] | Sabotender: | heh. A warning would have been welcome. have saved some time scratching my head |
| [00:08:56] | mack: | I have no idea about the internal transcoder. I had been yanking files out of myth's control previously and using handbrake. I'm not even doing that anymore. Hard drive space is cheap, lol. |
| [00:09:21] | Sabotender: | ah but, regarding transcoding, I'm not really asking for anything special I know that lossless converting is not possible. Would just like to maximise disk usage. I wonder if these jobs could be performed while the system is idle, or of low use. I am not certain what sort of processing power is used during that job. marking commercials works automatically for every recording, now that I've fixed the storage directory problem |
| [00:10:49] | mack: | Default settings for the transcoder are probably sane |
| [00:11:29] | Sabotender: | True. Once I can manage to get this stable, I am definitely going to purchase that 20 TB hard drive. |
| [00:11:30] | Sabotender: | With that, I should be golden. |
| [00:18:48] | Sabotender: | I may just use the default settings. They are not currently enabled… I wonder if I can transcode all those files that it had not been performed. but handbrake sounds intriguing! |
| [00:23:42] | mack: | On modern systems, transcoding shouldn't have to watch until the CPU is idle. The transcode process is niced to low priority, anyway. |
| [00:26:03] | mack: | "transcode all those files that it..." <--- does this refer to recording that show up in, well, Recordings, or are they Videos or something? |
| [00:26:23] | mack: | If they are in Recordings, you can just fire off a transcode job manually |
| [00:29:15] | mack: | s/have to watch/have to wait/ |

| [01:03:46] | Sabotender: | Oh wow, that it's brilliant news! I will research that method. Perhaps I could use A different format. |
