 With recent master (v0.26-pre-409-gc51c98a), I am unable to record with
 mpeg-4 software encoding.  There are two issues:

 1.  The recording profile codec settings are not loaded correctly, so the
 recorder defaults to RTjpeg:

 Please go into the TV Settings, Recording Profiles and setup the four
 'Software Encoders' profiles.  Assuming RTjpeg for now.

 }}}

 Another symptom of the problem is that the video/audio codec settings in
 mythtv-setup "Recording Profiles" do not reflect what's in the database
 and changes do not appear to stick.

 This problem appears to be due to settings changes in
 84974039959d2372844a39a820ca4c7530df5a58.  I'm not sure why, but the
 attached hack seems to make it work.

 2.  With the codec settings loaded correctly, the recordings do not
 contain any video.  This appears due to changes to use new ffmpeg API.
 The second patch makes it work.
