You do need to unwrap the mpeg before you can transcode to mp4 or whatever. The complication comes from resyncing your audio and video streams, hence the problems you are finding.

Your information is very useful and something I will probably need in the future. Unfortunately it doesn't answer my question. I was asking about automatic transcoding in the recording profiles.

[mythtv-users] DVB-T Transcode
It's not clear to me how to set up transcoding for DVB-T cards. I have an Avermedia 771 card and I am using Ubuntu 5.10. They both work well.
