I use homegrown bash scripts outside of Myth. I'm sure these could be executed from Myth as a user job, I just haven't got around to trying user job's yet. If you aren't familiar with bash scripts, I would suggest any of the bash tutorials on the net to start. You could, of course, run the commands from the command line as well, but bash scripts save you alot of typing in the long run. To be perfectly honest....I do most of my compressing from work....I just telnet into my home machine and start the script for the specific show I want to compress. So I've gravitated to using bash shells on a telnet screen so I don't have to display what, over the internet, would be a very slow Myth GUI window (because of the connection speed....not Myth). _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
