How do you run the transcoder manually?  I dug around the help files, 
but couldnt find anything.

Also, why no sound?  when converted with mythmkmovie it works fine, but 
with the transcoder no sound.

I dont have much use for the transcoder, it would be great to 
automatically do it, but for my usage, I delete a few days after 
recording, and I use mkmovie on the ones I want to keep around, moving 
them into another folder with filenames I can identify with.
