What mythtranscode converts it to depends on your settings, for my they
bocome mpeg4. What I really use it for is to edit the file down
using the cutlist **cough** no commercials **cough**. I'd say the
combination of the two about triples my recording capacity. You
can set this all up in the transcoding profiles from the frontend<br>

Can someone explain me what exactly does mythtranscode do?<br>After I recorded something, I can choose from a menu to transcode it.<br>I see that mythtranscode runs, it's also mentioned in mythbackend log,<br>and if I had a file
X.nuv, now X.nuv.tmp appears. The menu where I<br>launched the transcode from now offers to stop transcoding. Makes<br>sense, so far.<br><br>After a while mythtranscode ends and X.nuv.tmp becomes X.nuv.<br>Comparing to the old file, the new one is slightly smaller. The menu
<br>changes to transcode once more.<br><br>So, mythtranscode converted my captured MPEG2 (from PVR-350 or 150) to<br>... what exactly? And what will happen if I transcode it again?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Fedor<br>--<br>Fedor G Pikus (
