Everything is working as expected however the mythtranscode operation appears to remove the original .ts file after the operation completes. This leaves the database with an orphan record pointing to a now missing file.  I can work around this by making a backup of the original, performing the transcode, and then copying the backup to replace the then missing original file but this is obviously a clunky solution.

Yes I noted this behavior about 4 months ago when I had an aborted attempt at moving to master. Although I had a number of issues at the time (hence 'aborted') and assumed it was user error. I had intended to go back and verify but have not done so yet and there are other things I want to test first.
