What mythtranscode converts it to depends on your settings, for my they bocome mpeg4.  What I really use it for is to edit the file down using the cutlist **cough** no commercials **cough**.  I'd say the combination of the two about triples my recording capacity.  You can set this all up in the transcoding profiles from the frontend

After I recorded something, I can choose from a menu to transcode it.
I see that mythtranscode runs, it's also mentioned in mythbackend log,
and if I had a file X.nuv, now X.nuv.tmp appears. The menu where I
launched the transcode from now offers to stop transcoding. Makes
sense, so far.

After a while mythtranscode ends and X.nuv.tmp becomes X.nuv.
Comparing to the old file, the new one is slightly smaller. The menu
changes to transcode once more.

So, mythtranscode converted my captured MPEG2 (from PVR-350 or 150) to
... what exactly? And what will happen if I transcode it again?

Thanks,
Fedor
