Not to mention the fact that Chris Pinkham has been working on new 
functionality to allow transcoding (and perhaps even recording from 
framegrabbers) into other (non-NUV) containers.  AIUI, it just needs 
some of his time to clean it up.  It will be here when it's here (as 
he's been busy with other things).  :)

Oh, and we definitely shouldn't touch anyone's historical/unwatched 
recording files.  If they want to risk breaking A/V sync by demux'ing 
and remux'ing them, that's their choice--not ours.
