[mythtv-users] what is mythbackend doing when in livetv with pvr250?

[and]

Ahh, that sounds interesting and explains why I can hear the disk even 
when the recording is over and I'm not doing anything on it.

I haven't played with the commercial skipping at all yet, I just 
thought it did it's magic in realtime while recoding so you could 
jump/skip while time-shifting as well as editing/skipping later, but it 
would make sense to do that after it's done recording and processor 
cycles are more freely available.

When does it do the transcoding?

thanks
