	It should be :-)

	MythDVD is just passing options to transcode. It figures out the kind 
of source material based on things like width, height, letterbox, etc 
(dvdinput table), and uses those to choose among output formats 
(dvdtranscode table). 

	It may very well be that I have not supported some transcode option 
that would be very useful in acheiving some specific objective (such as 
PAL anamorphic related flags to do a minimum amount of CPU work but tag 
the output as 16:9). As long as that option is relevant to the 
transcoding of DVD's, it should probably be added.

	The place to start is to come up with the "perfect" transcode command 
line that does exactly what you want. If the tablespace and the mtd can 
alreay accomodate that command line, then write some SQL. If not, send 
me the command line and/or think about patching the tablespace/mtd 
code.
