[mythtv-users] changing ffmpeg backend in myth archive?

[Jeremy Enos]

My HTPC is just enough in terms of resources to handle a backend and a 
frontend.  When it comes to mytharchive and ffmpeg, it really dogs.  My 
Windows based PC, always on and available for my desktop, gaming, etc, 
is quite high end.

I see that ffmpeg seems to be the most resource intensive part of a 
typical myth archive use, and I'd like to offload that to my high end 
windows box.  I don't know of any firm reason why this wouldn't be 
possible.  All I need (I think) is to know where ffmpeg is called, so I 
can substitute that w/ an ssh to my windows box.  I will also need to 
know the filesystem context which is expected so that I can make the 
appropriate mounts as well.  Anyone have those two answers?  Or is there 
something else I'm missing that would absolutely prevent this from being 
possible?
thx-
