[mythtvnz] Transcoding HD videos

Hi,

That was the key word here. I realised I was generating 720p with
50fps, adding -r 25 to the output file did the trick. The filter
(h264_mp4toannexb) also helps.
One thing I've noticed every now and then ffmpeg will segfault at the
end of encoding, but the movie remains playable.

I've noticed that mplayer has issues playing it too if the framerate
is not reduced to 25fps.

Thx for the input.

kind regards
