First off... this is not meant to be a flame war and let me say I LOVE
both the concept of MythTV as well as it's functionality.

I think the biggest thing missing from MythTV is a built in function
for archiving shows to DVD.  The closest thing I've come to is
MythBurn, and even for all it offers, it's still lacking some key
features such as:

1) True integration
2) Lack of using cutlists (even though someone has wrote a patch to do
this, it isn't fullproof)
3) Doesn't convert the mp2 audio into the DVD standard of AC3 audio
4) Only supposidly works with MPEG2 clips (pvr-x50s)
5) and more

I have 176GB available for myth recordings and every day I'm having to
delete a show just to continue to use myth.  I want to archive a large
percentage of my movies to DVD.  Sure, people can say "run this
command line, then do this, then that... then burn."  NO!  This should
be an automated procedure with ease and simplicity and no commands
lines.  It should be able to take a recording, use the cutlists to
remove commercials, build indexes, and make interactive menus.  It
should also not involve having to do somethings on one machine, then
copying to finish off processing on another with the exception of
possibly saving an iso that can be burned on another machine which has
a burner.

How come this hasn't been a priority for someone to develop an
integrated plugin for myth?  I've been told other PVRs have this
functionality.

Anyway, again, I don't mean to sound harsh, but this one thing is
severly limiting what I can do with mythtv.
