[mythtv] Latest CVS build giving weird problems with seek table after transcode to mpeg4

Hey, I just upgraded to the latest CVS from a version back in November
and have noticed an odd trend. Since my cpu is kinda slow, I capture
video using RTjpeg and then transcode them into mpeg4 to save space.
But after I upgraded, transcoded files seem to have major problems
seeking. RTjpeg encodings work fine. I've tried rebuilding the seek
table with mythcommflag --rebuild -f "filename" and I've checked the
recordedmarkup table in sql and it seems skip a huge chunk of the
beginning of the file (with my one file, it seems to start offsets at
675659283 and whenever I try and seek in the file it immediately jumps
to 25 minutes forward and I can't seek back. I've even tried some
trickery like mythcommflag --video "filename" (which I know is not for
recorded files) and then ran --rebuild -f and got the same results.
Does this have anything to do with the ffmpeg resync?
