Sweeet.  I'll give it a try and let you know if it works.  I'm currently 
running MythDora 4.0  and was not planning on upgrading for while (It 
works why break it).  But I am hoping to take advantage of the mp4 
format for the kids recorded shows.  I've currently been using the 
myth2ipod script and adding them back in MythVideo.
