OK, that's actually great to know - there is hope that mplayer's transcode
could be used to get mpeg-2 out of the cut video from myth then...  How do
I ask for lossless transcoding?  (I'll ask google as well, but if you have
a pointer...)

Thanks for looking into it!  There are some amazing people working on
mythtv!

Thanks,
