[mythtv-users] Feature Idea - Archive TV Movies

[MegaDeTH]

mythmkmovie does this, but it's not integrated into the menu system.

Site for it is..  http://www.icelus.org/

Transcoding is turned on in CVS now, which also does what you want, but 
does not move them to mythmovie.  And it also can be ran automatically 
after each show is recorded, but it doesnt support the comercial 
cutlists (not sure why!?)  It'll convert from mpeg2 to mpeg4 if you 
desire, I tried it last night, but didnt get any sound from the output, 
might not have everything setup on mine correctly.

I use mythmkmovie for now, because I want the comercial cutlists removed 
from the recordings.
