I've used a custom user job to do this.

I have UserJob4 defined as:

/usr/local/bin/videoexport "%DIR%/%FILE%" "%TITLE%" "%STARTTIME%" "%SUBTITLE%"

Where the videoexport script is:

---
#!/bin/sh
set -e;
echo $@ >> /tmp/videoexport.log
OUTNAME="$3"
if test -d /var/autofs/misc/innotab/LLN/MOVIE/ ; then
    CONVERTER=/usr/local/bin/toinnotab.sh
    TARGET="/var/autofs/misc/innotab/LLN/MOVIE"
    OUTNAME="$2"
elif test -d /var/autofs/misc/centon/video/ ; then
    CONVERTER=/usr/local/bin/tomp4.sh
    TARGET="/var/autofs/misc/centon/video/$2"
elif test -d /var/autofs/misc/n900/mythtv/ ; then
    CONVERTER=/usr/local/bin/ton900mp4.sh
    TARGET="/var/autofs/misc/n900/mythtv/$2"
elif test -d /var/autofs/misc/n97/Videos/ ; then
    CONVERTER=/usr/local/bin/ton97mp4.sh
    TARGET="/var/autofs/misc/n97/Videos/mythtv/$2"
fi
if test -z "${CONVERTER}" -o \! -x ${CONVERTER} ; then
    echo "Cannot run converter: ${CONVERTER}"
    exit 0
fi
mkdir -p "$TARGET"
cd "$TARGET"
if test -n "$4" ; then
    OUTNAME="${OUTNAME} - $4"
fi
SAFEOUTNAME=`echo "${OUTNAME}" | tr -c -d 'a-zA-Z0-9\040()~#!@$_-'`
${CONVERTER} "$1" "${SAFEOUTNAME}"
---

It just looks for various automountable file systems and the first one
it finds is considered the target device, under the assumption that
only one will be there, and then it just calls an appropriate video
converter script for that device.

All I have to do is insert the media, then execute the user job on the
recording I want, then remove the media when it's done.
