[mdlug] mpeg files from MythTV play w/o audio in PS3

[Ingles, Raymond]

R. Kannan and I have been messing around with the MythTV files for a while,
and I found some information which ultimately helped:

 Basically, using the command

    mythtranscode -i $IN_FILE -o $OUT_FILE -p autodetect -m -e dvd

 ...produced a file that the PS3 could play properly. But it's awfully large
(MPEG2 isn't all that efficient) so we're still looking for a way to transcode
them to mpeg4 or h264.

 I found a couple scripts yesterday: http://divxenc.sourceforge.net/ and
http://h264enc.sourceforge.net/ - the first one claims to have a profile for
the ps3 specifically, but my test file didn't work. I'm going to do some more
testing and perhaps contact the author - there *should* be a way to do this,
and I've had success with other movie files.

 Sincerely,
