Since it works in a bash shell I'm not sure why it errors out when mythtv launches the user job. Can anyone see something that I'm missing or know if anything special I need to do when setting up user jobs?<br>

Thanks!<br></blockquote><div><br>I seem to recall there is a limit for the length of the user job command line. You might try putting that long ffmpeg command line into a shell script and then passing the parameters in the user job.<br>
