I assume you know that the pipe error is related to a messed up
yuvdenoise, right?

if you have mpeg files, transcode can read those just fine, and has its
own cutlist handling options (ffmpeg doesn't, so it requires using
mythtranscode).

Why aren't you just using myth's internal transcoder? myth can play avi
files as recordings, but you really shouldn't use it that way. export,
send them to mythvideo, and then delete the originals.
Personally, I wouldn't automate this -- about 1 in 15 files that go
through transcode have messed-up audio because of glitches in the source
mpeg files (which then need to be re-run with --force_mythtranscode
since mythtranscode seems to have more robust mpeg playing code).
