IIRC MythArchive won't go through an mp4 intermediate for all input file 
types.  Certainly the patched version that I use (based on 0.24-fixes, 
dvb-t) doesn't. Maybe there's a setting I've forgotten about.

What's the source of your recordings, and Myth version?

And creating an 'archive' is intended for later reimport.  IIRC  it just 
dumps the files and metadata without transcoding.
