No and no.  FIFO mode in mythtranscode opens a pair of named pipes on 
the filesystem, and feeds the raw audio and video streams into them.  
These pipes use the standard 64KB POSIX buffering, so as you pull data 
from them, mythtranscode pushes more data into them, in FIFO ordering.  
The video is clipped, deinterlaced, cropped, and filtered however you 
have configured, but it is not encoded nor is it multiplexed into any 
form of container.  It is left up to you to do those things.
