Hm, seems so. I'm running into a bug that was seen before on this list
but the poster never got a reply:
http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2012-April/331351.html

My output is looking exactly the same. 

First I was running into the trap that seems to confuse myth-beginners
since generations: setting profiles for mythtranscode means you have to
change something in the backend, because the standard settings of
mythtranscode don't work (or are not recognized by the database).

I left the default profiles in mythbuntu just as they were except
switching from RTJpeg to MPEG4 and set the sample rate to 48000. The
default sample rate of 32000 is complained about in the log as not being
allowed. 

Someone should really change these two default settings to working and
recognized profiles before shipping mythtv.

Now, that everything is set, I get the attached output. The original
recording is left untouched and a new file *.mpg.tmp appears.

Thanks

Sven
