[mythtv-users] plextor convertx transcoding workaround

This is my final update on this since I got it working.  Chris is right;
I'm recording at 720x480 and if I transcode/reencode to 640x480 it works.
I'm very excited to have this working after thinking for 2 years that with
Plextor tuners I couldn't edit/transcode!

Thanks!
