[mythtv-users] mythtv very confused about length of recording

mythtranscode \
--mpeg2 \
--buildindex \
--allkeys # Works without this, but frames smear a little at jumps \
-c xxxx # Four-digit channel number (see recording's filename)[1] \
-s yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm # Date and time recording began (see filename) \
--showprogress \
--verbose important,general # Because I like detail

[1] Note that, although

--infile mythrecording.mpg

should be equivalent to

-c ______ -s ______

I can't use this because I call from crontab every hour 

perl /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.20/contrib/mythrename.pl --format "\%T
\%- \%Y-\%m-\%d, \%g-\%i \%A, ch\%c \%- \%S"

(the above all on one line) to rename all my recordings to
human-readable ones. -c -s always works.
