Sorry for the nag.. :-), but I urge you all to have a look at the scrips in the
CVS for mythburn (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mythburn/).
Screenshots of the results at

Although the package is driven by MythWeb addon scripts, the scripts
doing the work are just ordinary shell scripts. In my experience, the
php fronend has a high WAF, but a QT frontend calling the scripts
would be a very big bonus. Having to start up two computers to be able
to burn a DVD feels kinda strange.
Furthermore, if the ready-to-go scripts are used, there will perhaps
not be a need for two types of burning... it comes from the good
nature of code reuse, open source and not re-inventing the wheel where
there is (as I understand it) no need.

I just looked through this a bit. I must admit I haven't tried
it, but as far as I can tell from reading through the code, it starts out
by demuxing/remuxing the MPEG stream. That will break audio sync on
arbitrary ivtv captures.
The reason for suggesting two types of burning is that there
really are two separate reasons.
1 (DVD archive): Cut out commercials, possibly denoise, downsize on a
transcode. Make the result with menus, multiple episodes, etc and
playable on a settop DVD player. A very hard problem, considering that
the backend tools are not 100% reliable with A/V sync
2 (Mythtv archive): Dump any recorded content in the database to a
removable medium, including any database information as an .sql stub file.
Easy to do, and allows for archival without *any* generation loss or
manipulation of the stream at all.
