That doesn't agree with my experience.
After transcoding, the recordedmarkup table is empty -- but
THE ORIGINAL STILL SEEKS FINE -- it's only the transcoded
version that won't seek.
And, running mythcommflag --rebuild restores some of the recordedmarkup
table (didn't seem to restore all of it; it looked like there were big
gaps of "seekable" locations towards the end of the file), but seeking 
still doesn't work on the transcoded file.
What I don't remember (and can't check now; I'm out of town) is
whether seeking (on the transcoded file) is *any* different after
running mythcommflag --rebuild.  I know it still doesn't work, 
but it might not fail as bad.

Things I don't know:
1) What's the purpose of the recordedmarkup table if the original seeks
fine even with an empty table?
2) Is there some section of the .nuv file with seek info (positionMap?)?
3) If I need to run mythcommflag --rebuild after transcoding, why doesn't 
it just automatically do that?
