[mythtv-users] mytharchive produced incomplete video

I'm dabbling with mytharchive to export some shows out to DVD.  I've 
used it only once before to archive out a US football game to DVD which 
worked flawlessly.  This time around though, mytharchive took an 1hr 
long show and gave me a DVD with 20 minutes of the show.

In both cases, I loaded the cutlist, and I did make sure that the 
cutlist only cut out the commercials.  The video source in both cases 
was OTA HD (as was my first go-around), and all of the mytharchive logs 
looked as if it processed with no problems.

The only difference, though, is that I have started using 
"mythrename.pl" on a semi-regular basis for other reasons.  Would this 
have an impact on mytharchive producing a full length file, or might it 
be some glitch or something that is in the MPEG2 stream that it isn't 
liking (OTA HD isn't always 'clean')?
