Best solution, use something like the mythrename.pl script with the 
--link option to generate pretty named symbolic links and then copy the 
files to your laptop for viewing (WinSCP, etc.).  It probably also 
wouldn't be very hard to add a link that would work for Save Target As 
from Mythweb referring to the filesystem (assuming you set up the 
appropriate apache paths exposing your recording directory, etc).

But I don't think there is anything more elegant.
