You *can* get ivtv recordings directly onto dvd if you demux/remux them,
but I hear there are issues with ivtv (or the card, I don't know which)
tossing in weird blank frames every once in awhile when something can't
be encoded. If you don't have any, the recording makes a great dvd, but
if you do, then you end up with AV sync issues when playing back on
some/most dvd players.. (I don't know how to do this. I think that
archiving to dvd-video is a waste of a dvd when I can fit 27 half-hour
xvid episodes on a dvd and watch them with mythvideo)
Thanks for the info. I would agree with the xvid but unfortunatly my
mom only has a dvd player (and its old to boot) so I'm stuck with either
(s)vcd or dvd.
