Thanks Jeff for the quick response!   I thought I should get it working on
the command line before trying to run it as a user job.

If I go past that  (still as a user job), it does this:

[root at oscar tv]# video2ipod -i 7316_20080302220000.mpg -o
/data/nikos/iphone/Mad_Men.mp4
video2ipod: [i] Filename:      7316_20080302220000.mpg
video2ipod: [i] Resolution:    720x576
video2ipod: [i] Framerate:     25.000 fps
video2ipod: [i] Audio Rate     48000 Hz
video2ipod: [i] Video Bitrate  7980000 bps
video2ipod: [i] Video Format   0x10000002
video2ipod: [o] Filename:      /data/nikos/iphone/Mad_Men.mp4
video2ipod: [o] Resolution:    720x576
video2ipod: [o] Framerate:     25.000
video2ipod: [o] Audio Codec:   libfaac
video2ipod: [o] Audio Bitrate: 128k
video2ipod: [o] Video Codec:   mpeg4
video2ipod: [o] Video Bitrate: 2500k
video2ipod: [o] Cropping:      0

and then stops and doesn't proceed - no further error message

I'm actually mucking about on my server from another continent (bored in my
hotel room) and it's easier to do some command line stuff via ssh than try
to set up user jobs (which are either graphical via mythtv-setup, or direct
poking in the database which I don't want to do).

Anyway - it looks to be an awesome script and I can't wait to get it working
previously.  My previous kludges to get recordings encoded for my iPhone
worked, required too many manual steps, so looking forward to this one.

One more small thing, on your wiki - you mention Linguas::EN::Keywords as a
dependency - I assume you meant Lingua (without the s).

Cheers,
Nick
