[mythtv-users] Transcoding an mpg file

[Dick Steffens]

I have some mpg files that I generated by playing some video tapes into 
a ReplayTV, and then saving them with WiRNS. I want to put them in my 
Videos collection in Myth. That's easy enough to do by moving the .mpg 
files to the correct directory and then running mythutil --scanvideos. I 
can watch the videos with Myth, but Myth doesn't know how to jump ahead 
and back. I understand this is because Myth didn't keep track of stuff 
while it was being recorded and that I need to run something to give 
Myth that knowledge. I found Transcoding in the wiki which led me to 
Mythtranscode. Then I ran into the issue of the documentation assuming I 
know what all those options mean.

So, two questions:

1. Am I on the right track to giving Myth the information it needs to 
allow for intelligent jumping around (and bookmarking) in the video?

2. If yes, which options do I need?

Thanks.
