There were some interesting suggestions with setting IFS, but you can
also do it like this (if there are no newlines in the file names):

find /myth/recordings/ -maxdepth 1 -name \*.mpg -ctime -1 ! -mmin -1
-print | while read i; do
/usr/bin/mencoder "$i" -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=800
-o $TMP/tmp.mpg > $TPM/enc_errors 2>&1 && cp -fv $TMP/tmp.mpg "$i"
done

No need to change IFS.
