Excellent, that would be the message that you sent Monday night entitled 
"mythtranscode to avi works with mencoder 1.0pre1", correct?   So then 
where would I find some documentation on using Mythtranscode ... I was 
able to get myth running last week, but I have no idea how to use it to 
its fullest yet.  My guess on using mythtranscode (for the recording 
1040_20030901201500_20030901210000.nuv) would be something like this:

mythtranscode -p Default -c 1040 -s 2003-09-01-20-15-00 -f  fifodir  
--fifosync &
mencoder -audiofile fifodir/audout -audio-demuxer 20 -rawaudio 
rate=32000 -rawvideo on:w=480:h=480:fps=29.97 -vf scale=640:480 -ovc 
lavc -oac mp3lame -o out.avi fifodir/vidout

Is this correct?   Does anyone have any documentation on using 
Mythtranscode ... all I can find is some vague mention of trancoding in 
the FAQ (which sounds fairly cool, cutting out commercials and all ... 
though I have a feeling it isn't quite a easy as it sounds).

Thanks.
