Does anyone have a 'how-to' to transcode to h.264 and replace the
standard recording in myth, keeping the commflag positions, etc.

I have a user job that I use (using ffmpeg) to create a h.264 version
for my iPod, but I would prefer to use the 'built-in' mythtranscode if
I could - replacing the original file and keeping my commflag
positions if possible (rather than doing the actual cuts which
sometimes brings in a/v sync errors or gets the cuts slightly wrong).
