[mythtv-users] exporting several TV show recordings to be imported into another back-end

The wiki has a lot of old ideas about exporting videos but not sure if they
are the way to go with V36.

My desire is to move one year of episodes that are still on an old dormant
v36 back-end to my new v36 back-end. The old back-end is still running but
not recording anything new. I would like to hold on to the season/episode
numbers and maybe the subtitle if possible. The old recordings do have a
cut list/commercial flags, etc. but it's not critical to preserve them. I
don't want to take the processing time to transcode these. Just keeping
them in their MPEG2 .TS file format is fine.

My plan B is to use a script I use as a UserJob to cut the commercials,
transcode to h264 and store is the Storage Group Videos, but that seems
overkill for this effort.

Ideas??
