Avidemux2 loads mythtv NUVs. 
It will do a fast copy/copy. 
It has a nice interface.

I know mean was adding scripting, so it can be command line driven.

Personally, I copy the nuv AND sql off to DVD-R for possible later
readdition to the database.

Someone is working on removable media support, so the database would
"remember", or at least SEE the NUV/sql and temporarily add them.

Search a bit.
