If I correctly understand the current state of this problem, mythtranscode, as late as 0.17, but fixed somewhere in CVS (maybe) has a problem where it switches to outputting RAW mode frames, due to system load during the transcode. Captain Murdoch (from IRC) was chasing this around, and I believe he said he found it, though I don't know whether the patch was committed yet or not. As you can guess, we've had that problem here, as well. I'm *fairly* sure that this will be fixed, for those few people who seem to get bitten by it, in the upcoming 0.18, but I'll double check.
