    44 NOTE: I rate this as a CRITICAL PRIORITY/HIGH SEVERITY bug since it will totally TRASH your valuable recordings without any warnings or error messages when run from mythfrontend. Mythfrontend sees the transcoding as completing successfully so it overwrites and destroys the original.
    45 
    46 Again this used to work certainly back in 0.23 days.
    47 By the way this is the second CRITICAL DESTRUCTIVE bug in mythtranscode that was introduced in the transition from 0.23 to 0.24. Both this current bug and the recently fixed audio bug IRREVERSIBLY DESTROYED recordings.
    48 
    49 With all due respect to the volunteer nature of the developers, I would suggest that either mythtranscode be removed from the distribution or that more attention be paid to testing it before releasing a new mythtv version. The surest way to turn off new (or old) users of mythtv is to introduce major bugs into supposedly stable releases that break existing functionality and destroy valuable recordings. Again this is meant with all due respect and appreciation to the developer team
