Hi Aaron

I didn't know these patches existed. If it works properly it seems a lot
better integrated with myth. Do you know if anyone has tried to cut
PVRx50 recordings with it. I use both DVB-T and PVR250 here in UK.

My only reservation is it uses qt widgets in the wizard. Isaac has already
rejected several patches because of that. The new UI will not use
qt widgets at all.

I think being able to create DVD menu's is a must. An auto play DVD
works fine if there is only one program on it but if you archive 4 or 5
shows on one disk being able to select each show individually is great.

P.S. did you forget to add the new files to the dvdwizard_v3.patch?
