[mythtv-users] More transcoding questions...

[Lance Tost]

When using mythtranscode from the cli, what is the value for -p ?  At 
first I thought I could use "-p Default" but that didn't work.  So then I 
took a look in my db and "one of my Default profiles" had an id of 1 so I 
used -p 1 and it seemed to work... But then I got this:

[root at jupiter recordings]# mythtranscode -v -p 1 -c 1061 -s 
2003-11-17-23-00-00 2003-11-19 09:59:31 Transcoding from 
/myth/recordings/1061_20031117230000_20031118000000.nuv to

Are there any manpages or anything available for mythtranscode?


Also, can someone explain to me what all the different entries in 
recordingprofiles mean?
