I have a simmilar issue. I installed new from sources, defaulted to
/usr/local/bin in .12. It was saying it couldn't find mythtranscode
because it was looking for it in /usr/bin (seems like a problem in the
package to me).
However, I now get the "strange error flushing buffer ..." problem, but my
transcode never completes. It gets to about 4 megs and stops. The status
in the transcoding table is 53.
