Thanks Rob, but -c and -s are the flags for transcoding on the fly
aren't they? I have a file that has already been recorded and want to
transcode that. I don't need to tell it a channel or starttime, but
rather an input file. And it fails. (Also, I am doing this all from
the commandline or through mythweb - backend is in a remote location
so I don't watch / transcode through the front end)
