[mythtv-users] When mythtranscode is doing a 'redirect' process does it actually do any transcoding?

Thanks Gavin

I've managed to get the re-direct to be processed by a ffmpeg command
line for HD and mp3 content, I'm right now doing a process for some
AC3 stereo and AC3 6 channel material.  I'll let you know how it goes.

I have to say the first pass using ffmpeg is incredibly slow
regardless of which profile I use.
