Keep in mind that this is only for the software recorder (aka
NuppelVideoRecorder), it is not for cards/devices that do compression in
hardware). Recording from a hardware-compression device to another
format not supported by that device is best left to the post-recording
transcoder. It probably would be possible for someone to give the
transcoder the ability to transcode an in-progress recording, but that
might depend on the "multiple files per recording" patch which I still
haven't had time to finish.
