Here's the same thing (more or less) in python - first bit of code I 
tried in python in a bunch of years.  (Client is late getting me work 
and weather is too lousy to be outside...)

Not significantly different from a lot of the other transcode scripts 
except that it does transcode for the roku, which is the main point of 
the exercise.

I threw in the kitchen sink while I was at it, too, just in case I 
needed it.

I shamelessly copied Raymond Wagner's transcode stub from
