[mythtv-users] Can no longer start transcoding

[Kevin Saenz]

It depends on your switchs you have activated.
run a mtd --help it might give you some switches.

I know that when I was playing with 0.16 I had to enable mtd to transcode dvds
it's a daemon that mythc connects to so that you can transcode dvds.
