With the usual warnings about direct manipulation of the DB:  this works 
for me in mythDVBcut, which has remuxed from .ts to .mpg

Panasonic tv

{{{

  # Update the container type, needed for uPnP playback.  Empty will 
work too, if the transcoded flag is set.
    # This is a HACK pending 0.28 release, when mythutil should do it. 
See Ticket #12388

    echo "update recordedfile set basename = '${OUTFILE}', container = 
'MPEG2-PS' where recordedid = '$recordedid' ;" |
    mysql -N -u${DBUserName} -p${DBPassword} -h${DBLocalHostName} ${DBName}
