You may be right about there being a mailing list for mythpodcaster, but 
I didn't look for one before posting as I felt that, since it is 
something that only mythtv users are going to be using, this would be 
the most likely place to find help.

Following your post, I did have a quick look for a mythpodcaster mailing 
list, but I couldn't find any obvious pointers to one.

Anyway, having said that I have found a solution to my problem, which 
hopefully will help others.

I simply recompiled and installed a version of ffmpeg with libfaac (and 
qt-faststart) support by following the instructions available here:-

After that mythpodcaster is now working correctly.

Dave.
