[mythtv] mythrecode

[Craig Longman]

michael, i just wanted to start off a little thread about the mythrecode 
you mentioned.  what are your plans for this that wouldn't be achieved 
by enhancing mythtranscode, and providing a ui inside mythtv for 
scheduling recoding of recordings for archiving/whatever purposes?

i see what i'm working on with getting mythtranscode to eventually allow 
me to do just that.  right now it would only do rtjpeg or mpeg-4, but as 
new encoding schemes become available they could get added in.  i think 
that there might need to be some work on improving the base classes for 
encoding/decoding (i'd really like to be able to easily extract the 
un-decoded data), but someone (issac probably) has done a lot of work to 
make re-encoding nice and simple, and i'm initially at least, trying to 
leverage that.

cheers,

    CraigL->Thx();
