As I've accumulated a lot of cruft on my MythTV install, and a couple
things that needs changing, so I want to do a major clean up and the
best way I can see to do this is to reformat the /boot and / partitions,
reinstall Linux and set up MythTV again. But I don't want to lose
MythTV access to the recorded videos I have on /video - I assume if I
make a backup of the database, wipe and reinstall, and restore the
database, I assume I still will be able to access the videos?
Yes, I've done this before. I just did a complete backup of the mysql
database, then restored it once the OS had finished installing,
everything worked as you explained it.
Here is a link with the relevant commands (if you need them):

Or, of course, the more-to-the-point MythTV documentation:
