Fair enough...

Hmm... what surprises me is that I can't get the recordings to play.
The only mod I made was to what becomes line 138 in
mythtv/programs/mythcommflag/main.cpp where I now have:

    NuppelVideoPlayer* nvp = new NuppelVideoPlayer();

instead of:

    NuppelVideoPlayer* nvp = new NuppelVideoPlayer("avidemux_export",
pginfo);

I'm wondering if the fact that I'm still using the 1.0.53 beta firmware
on my hd-pvr makes a difference - after all, this worked at one point,
right?  That's why I'm wondering if I'm missing something - I've got
hd-pvr recordings stacking up like planes during winter at Chicago
O'Hare... ;)

In any case, thanks for the quick feedback - I appreciate it...
