[mythtv] Multi-stage video storage

[Brian Foddy]

Your solution isn't too bad as a first step.  Its easy to do
and accomplishes a sizeable portion of what I would want.
As soon as I get my machine back (been without Myth for
3 weeks now, the horor..) I'll take a look.

To the others that replied, the full-featured solution
is still possible, just need to take things step at a time,
and time permitting...

Thanks,
Brian
