[mythtv-users] Record to "MPEG-2 SVCD-compatible Stream" with Hauppauge PVR USB2

[Peter VanDerWal]

I'm a little confused.  You say you want to record a recording that you
already have?
I would think that transcoding it would be better than converting it to
analog and then recording the analog, at least I think that's what you are
suggesting.
