Chris,

  First off, thanks a ton for your work on nuvexport and mythweb. 
I've been following the changes you been committing in SVN for
mythweb, nice to see you working hard on that.

Anyway, thanks for the official word.  I've been wanting to use
nuvexport since last spring, but it hasn't worked with the latest
ffmpeg.  I'll be happy to use transcode, but even though I've used
mythtv for 2 years now I've never used the --transcode flag with
nuvexport.  Is it simply "nuvexport --transcode"?  What's the
differences and why do you say it's better anyway?

Thanks!
Matt
