Yes: I was just trying to say what _does_ work.  Your log file shows a 
problem in creating a menu from a .nuv file, and it may be that this is 
of long standing and just one of the reasons why people have given up on 
MythArchive.  I don't think I ever tried it.  You initially started with 
a h264 recording that got transcoded to nuv and menu creation failed. 
Later that nuv file would have to be converted to mpeg2 and then to vob. 
  Probably I'm not using these terms accurately, but that seems to be 
the sequence.  It looks as if the likelihood of getting script 
modifications committed is low, so either you need to hack the script 
yourself - I find it repetitive, contorted and obscure - or you need a 
workaround.  I suspect that you could find a way of going h264 to mpeg2 
direct, and that's probably the quickest option.  I think belcampo 
suggested that earlier.

Good luck!
