Currently MythArchive doesn't set the burn speed it just allows
growisofs to use whatever speed it thinks is best. Adding an option to
choose the burn speed is something that will be added at some point.

Are you using the 'Internal' player? I know that the internal player
sometimes has problems selecting the right audio stream if you have
chosen to not encode all streams to AC3 in MythArchive. When this
happens you can use the OSD to change the audio stream. I think xine is
a little smarter at selecting which stream to use or you could try
setting MythArchive to always encode the audio streams to AC3 to keep
the internal player happy.

There is no need to remove them manually they are cleared when a new job
is started. They are left behind to help with debugging if something
goes wrong while creating a DVD.
