Some useful info in this thread, thanks.

On the topic of moving videos to mythvideo, I posted a while ago with maybe
a slightly non-standard case:

   - To move a recording to mythvideo with ads removed (transcoded, rather
   than just with a cut list)
   - To have the resulting file saved to a custom directory, rather than
   the default recordings directory

Is there a way of doing this?  I posted the script I was trying in the
other thread, which I had no joy with.  Not had much chance to look again
since I last posted, so will have another look this weekend, just moved
house, so a bit all over the place at the moment!!

Cheers

Martin
