Just a few reasons why... There's a series or two out there that I'd like to archive instead of waiting 3 years for the $100 DVD set to come out. Another reason I'd like to see this feature is because I record a cooking show which I think is GREAT. I'd like to start a library of all the episodes of this show based on the topic/food of the show... I would say this show right now this is taking up 70% of my storage alone. Also, every now and then I'll see a single program that is relavent in some way that I want to keep it for reference, or might want to show a friend that might not have seen it or have access to see it.
I do appreciate the replies. I can be happy enough, for now, with the features nuvexport can offer and I'll use OSX to do the actuall DVD authoring for now. Like I said already, I do appreciate Myth and I appreciate Isaac for sharing his project with the world and continuing to develope it as well as let others develop plug-ins for it. Anyway, I don't mean to cause a ripple in the water, but I just wanted to see some clear information on why this hasn't been seriously considered up to this point. Thanks again fellow mythers!
