Comment (by rcrdnalor):

 Bill, yes I got the same error and faked the missing `CDROM` import.
 I is from `/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu/CDROM.py`, which is
 not available on python3 but only needed, if you write the iso file to
 disk.

 I did an ugly import of an old recording on my test system, already
 processed by projectX.

 And I had to add additional changes not discovered by the `2to3` tool,
 but `dvdauthor` now hangs for more than an hour to produce an iso file.
 I would like to know if this recently worked with python2, I doubt that it
 did.

 Definitely, this couldn't be solved in short time.

 I propose to exclude mytharchive for the upcoming v31 release on Ubuntu.
 We could easily exclude this in packaging/deb/debian.

 Please excuse, that I missed that dependency and many thanks to you and
 John spending a lot of time on working on this!
