Case 1 isn't a bug.  IIRC, it's correct (and intended) behavior, going
back aways.  This way you can have a "comment" in the filename without
it being displayed within Myth... Can't find anything in the list
archives though, but I could swear there's been discussion on this
sometime in the last 3 years... ;)

Agreed.  (You meant MythVideo, right?)  In fact, I hadn't thought of
that until you mentioned it.  It would be a great idea and should
probably be on a MythVideo page somewhere on the wiki...
