Description
Noticed slight error with the Transcode to Xvid command. Fully updated fresh install
Command from install: myt2xvid3 -cut "%DIR%" "%FILE%"
Should be: myth2xvid -c "%DIR%" "%FILE"

Well it seems the command has changed a bit more than just a spelling mistake. From the myth2xvid script:
# usage:
# first parameter must be %DIR%/%FILE% of the recording
# second parameter must be the desired base name of the output
# third parameter must be %CHANID% if you set USECUTLIST=Y
# fourth parameter must be %STARTTIME% if you set USECUTLIST=Y
# fifth parameter must be %JOBID% for the User Job status to be updated in MythTV
# in the mythtv setup screen invoke this script like this:
# MYTHTV User Job Command:
# /usr/LH/bin/myth2xvid "%DIR%/%FILE%" "%TITLE% - %SUBTITLE%" "%CHANID%" "%STARTTIME%" "%JOBID%"

I have tested this and it works a treat! Honors the Cutlist, Title/Subtitle look to work ok (but the transcodes I did were missing the subtitle), will test on things with Subtitles next. The script automatically appended a - number at the end so multiples with the same title (and missing subtitle) didn't fail.
/usr/LH/bin/myth2xvid "%DIR%/%FILE%" "%TITLE% - %SUBTITLE%" "%CHANID%" "%STARTTIME%" "%JOBID%"

I couldn't find a myth2xvid3 script in a fresh, fully updated R6 install, which is why it was failing. I found the myth2xvid script, which indeed looks very similar to the myth2ipod script. I changed the command to the one in my comment and was able to transcode recorded shows to Xvid.

I have undertaken a "pacman -Syu" to make sure my box is fully up to date, script doesn't seem to be present. I Can test a fresh install if required (I did a fresh install for a friend with R6.0.0.8 a little while ago that was missing the script).

The failures I was getting related to the backend not being able to find the "myt2xvid3" script.
