I guess I remember reading about that...

When was the last sync?  And could I possibly be the only one seeing this (mythcommflag hanging)?
Given what I have seen between the two versions of ffmpeg -- is that likely to be the problem or is there some other area I should be looking at?  I am considering the suggestion of using mythtranscode.  However, unless I can dump that to /dev/null, I don't know if I have enough disk space to create a script to update all these files (20G a pop adds up quick), not to mention how long it would take...
