[mythtv-users] Transcoded show Archive to DVD Failure.

[Jason Sullivan]

I'm running 0.21 on Ubuntu 9.04, and I'm having trouble Archiving to DVD.

I've taken some shows and edited the commercials out of them using the
instructions here...

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Removing_Commercials

....manually, using the cutlist.  Then I did the transcode thing to
remove the commercials.  The videos play fine, although they seem to
have different resolutions..

v0.07 (720x480),progressive,aspect:1.33,fps:29.97

...and I'm not sure how that happened.  Anyway, I try and put two on
on DVD, and the first thing the seems odd is the space estimation bar
in the lower left of the screen when you're selecting recordings
doesn't show any space used at all (instead of filling up as you
select videos).  It's completely empty.  The second thing that happens
is that I burn a coaster.  The DVD is unusable after burning (other
burns work fine).

There's only a couple of things in the log file (mythburn.log), that
seem off.  I can supply the whole log file upon request...

..which seems sort of fine.  And a bunch of...

...The demux messages are very very numerous.

Also at the end of the log file, I see...

...which seems unrelated but sort of wrong, since Mythexport is only
doing work in "work" and "logs".

Any clues?  Thanks!
