[PLUG] Mythtv and myth2ipod


I decided I should post this here because the only places I documented this is locked forums and it took me quite a while to figure out how to do this easily.
Most references I've seen has had you editing ipod.pm and MP4.pm if you wanted to change your settings for myth2ipod.  That seemed hackish and didn't allow different recording settings for me and my wife.  320X240 is fine for her 5th gen iPod but I want something better for my iPhone.  Solution is quite simple.  Use multiple myth2ipod scripts and change the $nuvoptions.
For my iPhone I use 
$nuvoptions ="--mode=iPod --nice=19 --cutlist --nodenoise --nodeinterlace --nomultipass --mp4_codec=h264 --width 640 --height  480 --v_bitrate 768 --a_bitrate 128";
for my wife i use $nuvoptions ="--mode=iPod --nice=19 --cutlist --nodenoise --nodeinterlace --nomultipass  --width 320 --height  240 --v_bitrate 386 --a_bitrate 96";

Following up on this discussion in the locked forums show ppl playing around with setting for smaller but iPhone quality files.  I'll be looking at what options visualhub is using and try and get the proper $nuvoptions to tweek out my settings for the iPhone.

Hope this helps someone.  I love having all my shows waiting for me when I pick my iPhone off the dock in the morning :D
