I recall going through this myself a while back.  I just checked my
mythweb directory and I have a symlink named video_dir that points to
myth's recordings directory and a different symlink named video_url
that points to the mythvideo directory.  Then again, I'm running cvs
from a few weeks ago, not the release version of 0.18.
