[mythtv-users] Using MythTV files remotely

[ray cielencki]

you could always set up a cron job to look at the database for new recordings and 
have transcode 'manually' (without mythtranscode) convert the files to xvid or divx or 
whatever. --and then even scp them to your eu machine.--

lots of useful transcode info (including some examples) can be found at
