New ones will be created. The easiest way is to view 'Recorded
Prorams' in MythWeb.

I wouldn't mind seeing such a script myself; this could also, if
written properly, of course take care Phil's question regarding the
.png files.

Mythtranscode uses .tmp files. If no mythtranscode process is running,
yes, it's safe to delete it.
