I've know that Myth has be able to transcode from MPEG2 to MPEG4 for a
while now, but I am not able to play transcode files in Mplayer. This
morning I attempted to play a transcode MPEG4 file in Mplayer and Xine
to see if something changed, but I am still unable to play the file. I
remember the patch for Mplayer that allow this.... If there is something
I'm missing I'd sure like to know it.... =_)
