[mythtv-users] Transcode/Architecture Questions..

[M]

I have no trouble reading native myth NUV files with
the VLC *gasp* windows client.  I stream them from my
backend server across my LAN to it all the time using
no transcoding at all.

Questions..

All,

   After hunting through the lists and the
documentation this morning, I
am finally posting to the list. Hopefully someone can
help me. Thank
you in advance.

   I have a MythTV machine setup that is running
perfectly, and also well
loaded with scheduled recordings. I would like to take
recordings with
me on the road, but I am at a loss as to how to do
this without
negatively impacting performance on my MythTV machine
when using
something like nuvexport. I understand with the native
format that
MythTV stores video in that I am forced to re-encode
the video to be
able to play it in apps like Video Lan Client. What I
want to be able
to do is re-encode the video on my dual celeron
workstation instead of
on the MythTV machine. Is this possible?

   Also, the architecture of the MythTV system is a
little vague in the
documentation. I am at a loss to understand what the
benefit is to
having multiple backends/frontends. Is there a general
architecture
overview someplace? Also, it would be good to
understand what is
required to setup multiple backends/frontends.
