The biggest problem with a *good* implementation of on-the-fly
transcoding is caching of the transcoded files.  I'd rather not do this
in mythweb, since it would mean writing a cache-management routine,
along with having to update my personal backup scripts to ignore things
like flv, avi, etc.

Instead, having the backend be aware of transcoded files (or better yet,
transcode them itself) would mean that auto-expire, etc. could be made
aware of the other files and manage removing them, etc.
