It would be nice to have a mythtranscode 0.26 that works; some recent
discussion on the myth list suggests the problem that causes to crash
always *may* have been fixed (and may really be with ffmpeg). The
problem is with lossless transcodes AFAIK; that's the only kind I've
used.

I've been copying the 0.25 mythtranscode over the 0.26 one after every
upgrade, which is tedious.
