I'm sure this has been asked, but I haven't had a lot of luck searching 
the archives.

It appears mythvideo can play MPEG2, RTJPEG, and MPEG4 video formats.

I have some HD content I would like to transcode to MPEG4 to save space, 
but I would like to keep the 5.1 audio.  It appears that mythtv can 
transcode to MPEG4 using MP3 audio, but I could not find if it would 
preserve the 5.1 audio.

I'd appreciate suggestions.

Bob
