[mythtv-users] mythtranscode and Job Queue

[Taylan Pince]

Hello,

I can't seem to figure out how to re-transcode my recorded programs.  
I recently changed my settings to encode with MPEG-4, decreasing the  
file size of my recordings. Now I want to go back and encode older  
recordings again to save some space. So I did the following:

mythtranscode -i /video1/1008_20061025200000.mpg -p 'autodetect' -- 
showprogress

And it did properly encode, taking a 2.2GB file to 750MB. But instead  
of replacing the old one, it saved it with .mpg.tmp at the end. What  
should I do to replace the old one and update the database? Would  
deleting the old one and renaming the new one cause any issues?

My other question is, can I add these to the job queue directly?

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Cheers,
Taylan
