The program is already recorded and set not to expire.  I want to keep
it.  However it is currently in my recording group.  First 1TB drive
with the O/S.

I want to move it to my video directory/filesystem that is a mirrored
set of 1TB drives.  However before I do that I want to rip it down to
size with handbrake.  All of my recordings are OTA.  HD OTA are huge
files 5-6GB per/hr.

I can figure out what mpg file it is using Mythweb, but just thought
there was a better way.
