[mythtv-users] Easiest way to burn shows to DVD?

Hi,

     Please can someone advise me the easiest way to copy shows to DVD 
before I waste loads more time and trash loads more DVDs!

     My shows are on mythbackend (FC3), recorded from DBV-T  (UK) as 
mpeg2-TS.
      I have DVD burner in my frontend machine but not in the backend.  Also 
I have a windows machine with DVD burner which can see the files via Samba 
share.

      So far I tried recording on NeroVision Express from my Nero 6 software 
on the weindoze box.   This looked to be going fine at first - Nero 
understood all the files and when I previewed the project in Nero it looked 
fine.   Unfortunately after burning to DVD the sound and video were badly 
out of sync.  Wasted several DVDs trying diferent options but whatever I do 
I cant get them to sync.    Don't understand this because, as I say it looks 
fine in preview.  Can only deduce things go wrong in the transcode/burn 
process.

      I then started trying to install the MythBurn plugin.  However, I got 
stuck with sorting out the compatability issues there seem to be between 
ImageMagick and dvdauthor packages.


    Anyway,  can anyone who has a simple working setup please advise?

Thanks,
Dave

PS  I dont really want to do a load of command line stuff every time I burn 
a show if at all possible.
