Do you have a .nuvexportrc in your home directory for either you or
the mythtv user? nuvexport searches for its config file thusly:
1. Whatever you pass on the command line
2. nuvexportrc
3. $HOME/.nuvexportrc
4. /etc/nuvexportrc
This means it could be getting flopped to transcode mode if you have a
nuvexportrc in any of those locations which specifies a
export_prog=transcode.
However, I do not believe this to be the case. If the output says
"ffmpeg had critical errors" then that is coming from the ffmpeg export,
not nuvexport. If xvid isn't on the list for a given export mode, I
believe you get an error like "unknown export mode 'xvid'".
Is your path different than what you get when the userjob is run? You
can just write a quick script to dump your path and `which ffmpeg` to
see if another ffmpeg is conflicting with the one you get when you're
interactive.
