Andrew,

Thanks again for the help. Mythtranscode seems to have rebuilt the seek table correctly; I can skip
forward and backward correctly. I've only tested with 1 recording of Family Guy, though, and the
mythfrontend console is reporting A/V Sync errors. I need to mess around with it some more and I'll
update here for others.
