[mythtv-users] Transcoding failure

I installed a KnoppMyth system on a combined frontend/backend with a PVR-150, 
and it works almost flawlessly.

One of the two issues I'm having is that transcoding fails.  Transcode jobs 
fail immediately.  If I look at the Job Queue, I see:

	Status:  Errored (mythtv)
	Transcode failed with status: 247

I found some information about the failure in /var/log/mythbackend.log.  I 
think the relevant lines are:

Any suggestions as to what the problem might be, or how I can get more 
information about it?

Thanks,

	Shawn.
