Please see: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Jobs

Basically you log into mythweb or go into the mythbackend setup and 
setup a script to run. You can use the script here: 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythvidexport.py

Hopefully someone here can chime in with a more precise script for you 
to put in there.

Then, when in mythfrontend, you press your menu key on your remote and 
click to run user job 1 (just like you'd click to delete, etc). You can 
even rename the user jobs so that instead of it saying userjob 1, it 
would say "Move This to Video Gallery" or something similar.

The hard part is getting the right script setup. I think it'd be a huge 
improvement in mythtv if future versions could make this type of feature 
native to the program. But for now we use userjobs and scripting to make 
this happen.
