Ahh, I swear there was a thread a while back about this apearing in 
0.21?  Perhaps it got shunted to .22 due to the imminent release (or I 
misread something).

Quite easy to make a mkv+h264+embedded subs file, I follow the guide at 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=273635 which seems generic 
enough to work on other distros (assuming dependencies are met); as I 
have a lot of foreign films it's become my format of choice for feeding 
them in to MythVideo.

Still either way, 122Kb file per movie isn't going to break the array 
and I'm a happy camper :)
