Hi Robert,

Attempting to run your script produces the following ouput:


kerr at MediaServer:/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/user_jobs$
./x264_transcode.pl -j 1278

Job 1278 refers to recording chanid=2002, starttime=2011-02-08 21:33:00
/media/MythTV/Video/Artwork/Banners/2002_20110208213300.mpg does not exist

nice: ffmpeg: No such file or directory
Transcode failed

Of course, the file DOES exist - in the next directory of the
appropriate storage group, ie.
/media/mythtv-b/Recordings/2002_20110208213300.mpg

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks,
Chris
