Yup... that's it.  I replaced it and it now is no longer disabled.
However, I still have an issue when trying to run an MP4 (h264)
transcode:

Choose a function, or episode(s) to remove:  c
Where would you like to export the files to? [.]
Enable Myth cutlist? [Yes]
Enable noise reduction (slower, but better results)? [No]
Enable deinterlacing? [Yes]
Crop broadcast overscan border (0-5%) ? [1.5]
Audio bitrate? [64] 128
Enable iPod compatibility? [Yes] no
Video codec (mpeg4 or h264)? [h264]
Variable bitrate video? [Yes]
Multi-pass (slower, but better quality)? [Yes]
Video bitrate? [384]
Default resolution based on requested dimensions.
Width? [320] 480
Height? [368]

Now encoding:  Saturday Night Live:  Untitled
Encode started:  Thu Aug  9 14:49:08 2007
First pass...
Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.
Starting ffmpeg.
processed:  0 of -138631 frames at 0 fps (~%, eta: unknown)

ffmpeg had critical errors:

Unknown codec 'h264'


I'm guessing that somewhere else it's passing the wrong codec name to
ffmpeg.  I haven't really had a chance to dive in yet and fix this as
I really don't have a lot of perl or ffmpeg knowledge to know what
should be passed.

Either way, I guess someone should open a ticket so Chris can fix this.

Thanks!
Matt
