[mythtv-users] Manual record/stop

[Matthew Laird]

I have a question about Myth's abilities.... is there the an ability to
start and stop recording on command?  I ask because I have a number of old
VHS tapes I'd like to record over for DVD archiving.  However besides
trying to hit record at the exact moment I've configured a manual
recording session, I can't think of any way to make Myth do it.

Though as I write this, considering I have a pvr-350, I suppose I could
write directly from the /dev/video to an mpeg file.  But it there's a
better way to do it I'm curious.

Thanks.
