[mythtv-users] transcoding to playback on windows

[Harondel J. Sibble]

I want to take some of my videos and convert them to a format that I can 
watch on a windows machine.

I been reading the archives, and just want to confirm I've got this right....

Okay, I set a transcode profile, I then while watching a video, hit x to 
start to a transcode, once that's done, using mencoder from mplayer 1.01pre, 
I can transcode the video to a divx or avi format viewable on windows.

The former way was to patch mplayer with matt zimmerman's patch, use 
mythmkmovie against the nuv file and then run mencoder against that.

Have I got this right, or have I missed anything?

So, what happens with a video that is not in the database.... How do I 
transcode that one? This is an orphan video from a previous verision of 
mythtv .9 or .10 IIRC.
