Any transcoding job my machine attempts fails with "Transcode failed 
with status: 247 <http://stephenashelton.com/mythweb/status#>" listed 
under the job queue. The snipit from the backend log regarding one such 
show:

The "Unknown video codec:" line catches my attention, but it looks like 
something is missing. The recording profile appears to be identical to 
the livetv profile, which works just fine (though it doesn't transcode...)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
