It already does most of those operations as a user job,
plus allows user<br>
defined formatting of the resultant filename, and
metadata pulling from<br>
the defined data grabbers in MythVideo.<br>

Thanks for the reference. I knew about mytharchive, and
the different<br>
job it does, but had not come across mythvidexport.py . I
take it that<br>
it doesn't transcode the file, just moves it? (I have to
ask, because<br>
Python isn't one of the languages I have used.)<br>
</blockquote>
</div>
Correct. It copies the recording as it exists over to
MythVideo. It does not do any transcoding.<br>
</blockquote>
<div>Silly question but what is the point of that? <br>
other then grouping everything in mythvideo?<br>
I thought the whole point of mythvideo was to play back
anything that wasn't a recording or a place to export
recordings after transcoding to reduce storage requirements?<br>

Recordings and MythVideo exist as different organizational
strategies. Recordings are only separated by title, and sorted by
date, while MythVideo can incorporate much deeper folder trees,
including season divisions sorted by episode number. Recordings are
best done on independent disks to best use the balancing
capabilities of storage groups, while MythVideo is fine on single
large redundant array.<br>
<br>
In my case, I've only got about a TB of storage for recordings on a
couple spare old drives. Anything I want to keep gets flagged,
losslessly clipped, and migrated over to MythVideo.<br>
