[mythtv-users] mythtv 0.19 transcode fails (Unknown video codec)

Hi,

I cannot seem to get mythtv to transcode anything. In the status area it just gives a "Status: Errored (tv1)". I can 
watch and record live TV to MPEG2 with no problems. Could I be missing a package somewhere that does the encoding? Here 
is an output from the logs. Note the "Unknown video codec".

Hardware is PVR-150 MCE.
