On 0.24-fixes or later, you may want to consider using mythffmpeg rather than the system ffmpeg. While your script works for your own needs on your own local copy of ffmpeg, the command line arguments to ffmpeg can and do change, and have been a constant source of trouble for nuvexport and other such utilities. Ffmpeg syncs in MythTV are only performed in the developmental branch, so the mythffmpeg binary now bundled with MythTV will provide a static target to program for on a specific MythTV release, regardless of what version comes packaged by your distro.

ffmpeg or mythffmpeg

the reference to ffmpeg can be revised to the myth synchronus mythffmpeg to reduce issues with flag variants between versions but I was not able to make it work with libx264 preset files in version 24.
