You seem to have missed the option in MythArchive to "Create Native  
Archive" instead of just "Create DVD". When you Create Native  
Archive, you can export recordings to a file anywhere you'd like.  
 From what I've read it will keep all the database stuff it needs  
with it so when you want to put it back into the myth system, you can  
import the archive and use it again.
