Seems that my custom ffmpeg transcoding script has started failing ever since I upgraded to Squeeze. I ended up just installing handbrake-cli and it works now, but I'm curious why ffmpeg was failing. Here's the ffmpeg line
Code:
ffmpeg -i "${inputfile}" -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -vcodec libx264 -vpre normal -crf 22 -threads 0 -title "${title}" -f mp4 "${outputfile}"
And here's the relevant lines from mythbackend.log
Code:

Unrecognized option 'me'
The problem I have with the unrecognized option line is that I can't find 'me' anywhere in my input command. The input file is always something like /mnt/mythtv/1025_20110403221100.mpg, the output file is something like /var/www/mythroku/1025_20110403221100.mp4, and the title is something like "Sportscenter".
