I'm having my first, second, and third go around with mytharchive, and, 
while I have made some progress getting it running on a frontend-only 
system by:
o Adding the right entry in to the database (insert into settings 
(value, data, hostname) VALUES ('RecordFilePrefix', '/video', 
'mythfrontend');)
o Copying mythreplex from my backend server
o Exporting and mounting my video directory off of the backened server 
on to the frontend server

Everything chugged along fine the last go-around until:
**ERROR: [mpeg2enc] mpeg2enc is currently broken.  If you really want to 
use it delete this line and recompile
************************************************************
ERROR: Failed while running png2yuv - png2yuv -n 449 -v0 -I p -f 29.97 
-j '/tmp/archive/work/background-1.png' | mpeg2enc -b 5000 -a 3 -v 1 -f 
8 -o '/tmp/archive/work/temp.m2v'
************************************************************

It looks like mpeg2enc was compiled to error out right away:
# mpeg2enc
**ERROR: [mpeg2enc] mpeg2enc is currently broken.  If you really want to 
use it delete this line and recompile

These are all from the RPMs.  Is this something new, or should I go 
ahead and download the source RPM from ATrpms and build it with the 
error line commented out?
