One of the items on the release notes is:
    Added the ability to capture MPEG-2 video from the go7007 driver

I have a plextor convertx which uses the go7007 driver.  (it does work 
with plextors test capture program, so the device is ok, the drivers 
work, etc).

In mythtv 0.21, I cannot get it to work.  I cannot find anyplace to set 
it to mpeg2, so I am assuming that's my problem.

In mythtv-setup, I added the device (listed as MPEG-4 plextor convertx).
In mythfrontend I go into the recording profiles and select that device. 
  There is a combo for selecting the encoding but I cannot change it 
from MPEG-4.

Is there something I'm missing?

(I really need it in mpeg-2 because I have a low powered pc and I use a 
PVR-350 for tv-out.  And it only support mpeg-2.)

Thanks for your time,

-Andy
