Compressing NZ freeview HD?

[Alfiegerner]

Has anyone got the compressing of freeview HD working? On my setup the video comes out half scrambled looking at the bottom and there is no audio.

I use the SageTV transcoding every day. I have a few profiles that convert both TV3 1080i and TVNZ 720p to SD in either MPEG2 or h.264. You need to make sure that the 1080i gets deinterlaced when converting otherwise it really looks bad.

Cool, good to know, thanks for responding. So you don't have any problem getting audio compressed?.

Just trying to think when the support was added. I think it came in with version 6.5.11, so if you're using the release version of 6.5 then it doesn't work.
I'm running the 6.5.20 beta now without any problems.
