The restore probably won't work right. You'll have to edit the restore
script to deal with things like basename and progstart and progend
columns in the recorded table (although it's possible MySQL will "do its
best with what it's got"). Probably many other similar issues.
Then, once you get it working, you'll need to rename any recordings that
use the new filename format (i.e. chanid_starttime.{nuv,mpg}) to the old
filename format (i.e. chanid_starttime_endtime.nuv).
And then you'd have to take care of any other issues that I haven't
anticipated...
So, in all, it's probably more work than it's worth.
