</div>Upon further look at this it looks like the --mpeg2 option will not<br>
allow for resizing the video. My original recordings are mostly HD and<br>
like I said in the original post, I need them to be SD for compatibility<br>
with a network player.<br>
<br>
Will I mess anything up by just transcoding with an external script<br>
using ffmpeg and replacing the original file with the transcoded one<br>
(same name so myth still finds it)? If I do that, then is there<br>
information in the database that will have to be updated with the new<br>
filesize and video size? Will myth do that automatically? Do I need to<br>
execute a command initiate that?<br>
