No, adding them to video is Good, but the recordings should be owned
by user mythtv. Besides a user video probably doesn't exists.
Wether you use the group mythtv or video is in essence arbitrary. The
user running the backend and the frontend though should be member of
video to be able to properly access the capture and video devices.
