 Currently if you transcode a recording and have the "Save original files
 after transcoding" option checked, the original file is moved to a file
 suffixed by .old:

 (i.e. 1021_20090319110800.mpg -> 1021_20090319110800.mpg.old)

 The attached patches change this functionality as follows:
  * Create a new, valid filename (i.e. 1021_2009031911080'''1'''.mpg)
  * Copy the recording info and markup data to reference the new filename
  * Set this new recording to be "Deleted"
  * Transcode the file
  * Move the original file to the new name (i.e.
 1021_20090319110800.mpg.old -> 1021_20090319110801.mpg)

 The end result is that the original recording, along with the seektable
 and any cutpoints, still exists as a "Deleted" recording.  It can be
 watched, undeleted, re-transcoded, whatever.  If it didn't transcode
 right, you can delete the transcoded file, undelete the original, adjust
 the cutpoints and try again.

 This works for me, hopefully it'll work for you too.
