John this sounds interesting.

To answer many suggestions:

The recording is a normal myth recording. It is not in the database. I guess that during my fiddling I recorded it on another backend. It is in the correct group.
It is not a big deal as eg I can edit with shotcut, but I’m learning in an area that I don’t usually frequent.

May I repeat the steps I’d try:

1) I make a short recording
2) I overwrite that with the file that I have got
3) I edit metadata: Title ‘Judge John Deed’
4) I mythtv-edit as needed
5) I transcode, titled: Judge John Deed 1x01
