you could insert the videos into recordings using
http://nowsci.com/mythmediamonitor/

However I'd say this would be completely not recommend by the devs, also
note there are a few changes that need to be do to support 0.26+ which you
can find in the comments on that page, I've also altered this somewhat to
insert into the oldrecorded table to try to avoid episodes being
re-recorded which already exist. personally I run this only on demand only
on specific folders.

I can share my hacked code if you'd like.

Cheers,

Anthony
