[mythtv-users] Exporting/Archiving MythTV recordings for use w/standalone mpeg4 player

[David Whyte]

Is this one of those tasks that can be added to the JobQueue?  I would
like to have an DivX version of every recording I make so I can watch
it on my PDA on the train.  I don't want to blow away the original
recording incase I choose to watch it at home instead.  It must also
be proper DivX/XviD so I can watch it using BetaPlayer on the
PocketPC.

Anyone know how to set this up?
