Still running 0.23-fixes here, but I've seen this same problem on several 
occasions. I remember once watching a recording that was still in progress, 
but the next morning the same recording would only show a blank screen. I also 
allow a 3 minute overrun by default, so mythtv can still be recording when a 
station goes off-air. I simply use a small script that does a lossless 
transcode using ffmpeg to 'fix' the recordings.
