[mythtv] MythTV .nuv files to VCD

[David Madsen]

Thanks for the input.. I did find that script that comes with mplayer, but
didn't like the process it was using either..  I guess I'll stick to my
method unless someone comes up with a better way.  I created a 1 hr VCD in
about 2 hrs the way I was doing it.  Thanks anyway..
