I found the wiki page about exporting to iPod ( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/IPod_Export_Solution:_Myth2iPod ) and I was able to take care of everything except nuvexport.  It isn't on my system from the default install - I've done a find on 3 different mythtv installs and it doesn't exist (2 mythbuntu installs that were .23 and were upgraded and one that was newly installed using apt-get this week).

I don't have that either.  That post goes on to say that you can get it from SVN so I checked sourceforge and couldn't find it there either.

Presumably all of ffmpeg comes from cvs or svn at some point and surely the program repository has nothing to do with the compatibility and it must be the actual version of code that matters but I don't really know how to take action on that.  ffmpeg returns the following when I use the --version flag:  "FFmpeg version 0.6-4:0.6-2ubuntu6.1"

The log file from the job says "ERROR: No resulting file from ffmpeg, most likely your ffmpeg failed".  Again, I don't know where to go from here.

I believe the author of mythexport ,is on IRC in the #ubuntu-mythtv 
channel on freenode.. Perhaps you could post your question there and he 
may be able to help you..
