[mythtv-users] nuvexport question...

Well, you could always look at mythtv's built-in transcode profiles, 
which use divx/mpeg4..  cut commercials, press X to transcode, and 
you'll get an mpeg4/rtjpeg (whatever you set up) encoding.  won't be 
TINY, but it'll be smaller than mpeg2.

However, my personal preference is to use nuvexport to export xvid files 
(default settings will give you about 350M/hour-minus-commercials), and 
then just watch them in mythvideo if you want.  myth's mpeg4 settings 
still sacrifice encode-speed for quality, so even though they're mpeg4, 
they won't be as nice at the lower bitrates as what you'll get from 
nuvexport.
