Hi Larry,

ok, so I suggest you use a system event to create the new mythlink symlinks
rather than rerunning mythlink every 30 minutes. You can configure mythlink
to create just the new file/recording symlink rather than checking every
file. Then set mythlink to run a full re-run once a night instead.

How are you finding the recordings you want to convert to m4v's? I would
use a user-job probably so I presume you are also. You can then use the
%DIR%/%FILE% to locate the correct file and provide it to FFMPEG or
whatever you are using (MythExport?) and %STARTTIME%-%TITLE%-%SUBTITLE% as
the output filename.
