Two search terms I wouldn't, as a newbie, have known. Look, I know I'm whining, but I just don't want you to think I run to the mailing lists without doing any homework. I spent the better part of two days free time searching this and other stuff in the Myth docs I have. As with all newbie searches, I would have been much more effective if I had known what I was searching for and where it was stored, but I actually did find some stuff. For example, did you know that unless you override it on the command line, Myth will transcode at the default quality for when the show was recorded, not for when the transcoding is done? I didn't, but reading that almost certainly saved you and the myth list from a frantic "help, transcoding isn't working" message. I can't imagine why it was designed that way. Don't let my whining obscure how grateful I am for your support. <note to self: must bank some karma somehow> -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
