I've done some more digging using the --debug flag.  Here are the actual 
commands being run by nuvexport:

Does anyone see any problems in the above?  One thing that strikes me as 
odd is that the audio output is shown at 0kb/s:

Output #0, dvd, to '/tv/Good Eats - Fishing Whole.2.mpg':
  Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x480, q=5-31, 6144 kb/s,

But I don't understand much of what I see so any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Drew
