 I attempted to create a DVD with four recordings but it failed with the
 error "cannot write mode I as jpeg".  I googled that and found this page:

 <https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1959406&p=12151885#post12151885>

 where it suggested working around that by changing the theme to Compact.
 I tried that and ran into various oddities (sizes showing as many
 terabytes, for instance) but eventually was able to get the DVD set up, at
 which point the log file (attached) told me the files couldn't be found.
 And sure enough, they were gone; if I try to play them from dvd front end,
 I get a message saying they are not present (and looking in the directory,
 the .ts files are missing, just the .ts.png files are there).

 This is with Ubuntu 16.10 with the mytharchive in the mytharchive package
 version 2:0.28.0+fixes.20160413.15cf421-0ubuntu2.
