Comment(by cpinkham):

 (In [13475]) Add the ability to capture MPEG-2 video from the go7007
 driver.  The setting
 to enable this is currently commented out in recordingprofile.cpp.  To
 turn it
 on to test, uncomment the following line around line number 825 in
 libs/libmythtv/recordingprofile.cpp.

     //codecName->addSelection("MPEG-2");

 I get lots of "concealing ... MV errors" and "end mismatch" warnings from
 libavcodec's decoder when I turn this on even though the video appears to
 play fine, so I'm leaving this commented out by default for now.  It is
 mainly
 being added so I can progress further on other related work.  Mplayer
 plays
 the resulting MPEG-2/MP3 .nuv file fine as well but with the same warnings
 when I use "mplayer -vc ffmpeg12,mpeg12" to force the libavcodec decoder.

 This commit renames the mpeg4scalebitrate setting to scalebitrate so it
 can
 be reused for both MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 encoding.  The old setting is left in
 the codecparams table to maintain the ability to rollback to an older
 version.

 References #2972.

 One step closer to writing out container formats other than .nuv (like
 mpeg-ps)
