convert from DCIM conventions to date based…

brew install exiftool
exiftool '-FileName<${CreateDate}.jpg' -d %Y%m%d_%H%m%s%%-c -ext jpg *.JPG
exiftool '-FileName<${CreateDate}.mp4' -d %Y%m%d_%H%m%s%%-c -ext mp4 *.mp4

Yes, this is possible, by default the javafx_scenebuilder-2_0-windows.msi installs to all users and tries to registry some fonts etc.

This can be avoided by running the following command. This will install a link to the Desktop, when it is run Scene Builder will install, just click Ignore on all the warnings about failed font installation.

msiexec /ju javafx_scenebuilder-2_0-windows.msi

• 7zip extract the .exe
• unzip the tools.zip
• Create a install.bat in the top level directory

  FOR /R %%f IN (*.pack) DO .\bin\unpack200.exe -r -v "%%f" "%%~pf%%~nf.jar
  

• Extract the src.zip from an equivalent linux tar.gz distribution as 7zip doesn’t manage to extract this – it’s the same file

• After a number of issues with avconv I switched to ffmpeg. Out of memory (OOM) errors. Non-monotonic timestamp issues, and audio/video sync problems
• Sometimes mythtranscode can fail. If it does, the recommended way to fix it is to stream copy the .mpg using ffmpeg, replace the original file and try again.
• Android only supports H264 baseline profiles.
• 480p works quite nicely on a Samsung S3 screen
• Built-in mythtv editor for cut-points easy and quick to use – in conjunction with “honorcutlist” option.
