[mythtv-users] nuvexport/transcode how long to convert?

[Bruce C.Dillahunty]

Oppps... sorry... didn't know about that... I had a 704Mb file that 
didn't seem to "fit", but it
may have been the process I was using to burn it... my only burner is 
on a Mac OS X machine, so I move the *.mpg over and burn it there... 
has worked for smaller files, but I must not be handling something 
right... I'll look further.

Thanks for all your script work... this is a real boon for me :-)
