TTBOMK, ffmpeg does not support MythTV's NuppelVideo container format
(at least not vanilla ffmpeg).

Remember, though, that the current implementation is a "proof of
concept" and eventually the transcoding support may be moved to the
backend (especially if someone out there wants the capability enough to
write the patch :).
