 I was consistently getting the an error when I tried to stream flash video
 from any NuppleVideo MPEG-4 recording within mythtv (though the mpeg2
 streams worked fine). After several seconds of transcoding the following
 error was reported by ffmpeg:

 Marker bit missing before time_increment_resolution8 bitrate= 384.0kbits/s
 [mpeg4 @ 0xb7dbc6e8]time_base.den==0
 [mpeg4 @ 0xb7dbc6e8]header damaged
 Error while decoding stream #0.0
 Floating point exception

 I did some exploration and found that mencoder (part of mplayer) did a
 good job. I've included a patch for a modified version of the
 mythweb/modules/stream/handler.pl which replicates the original behavior
 but uses mencoder rather than ffmpeg. A flag at the top determines which
 is used.
