On my system, the file sizes are unique enough to use them as unique 
identifiers.  So:

mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg

select basename, filesize from recorded;

Should give you a list of the original filenames with their filesizes.  
I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to find a way to automate 
renaming the files back to their proper name based on the output of the 
above command.
