Anyone else hitting this problem?  I'm running both of the "high quality" 
boxes checked for MPEG4.  I captured what the system is passing to 
mythtranscode, and ran it manually.  Getting:

# mythtranscode -c 1290 -s 2003-10-29T16:00:00 -p autodetect -d -l
2003-10-30 09:57:02 Transcoding from 
/opt/video/recordings//1290_20031029160000_20031029163000.nuv to 
/opt/video/recordings//1290_20031029160000_20031029163000.nuv.tmp

That's at least one step farther.
