I am not sure how typical of a user I am, but I would find it
helpful.
The analysis is correct, I was transcoding on a relatively slow box
(reduced power consumption) and a relatively long recording.

Thanks. I have seen that.

If I do this, I think I have to merge the changes to deletemap.cpp
in.
I was thinking about moving to the git master anyway. Some day I
would like
to contribute. Not a lot of spare time, but some day that may
change.

So there have been no changes to the mythconverg schema between 24.1 and
the master?
I will backup the database anyway just in case. I like to play with
a safety net under me.
