The problem is that I am on the outer range of TV stations on my antenna. So, there is a little digital gargle (tech term?) every now and then - not bad really. So when I view the dvd, it seems to cut off entirely, like goes back to the menu, at those spots. The recording is good up to that point.
I've traced the code as best I can. It gets past: cutting commercials and separating video and audio. It seems to be happening when you make the DVD. I've checked audio and video separated files and they include the entire video/audio. But, once it goes into the VOB file it cuts short.
I believe the error is here (mythburn.log):
**ERROR: [mplex] Can't find next AC3 frame: @ 6899712 we have 1186 - broken bit-stream?
Any ideas on how i can clean up / automatically cut out the gargle parts?
here is the end of my progress.log:
