I definitely get this. I was thinking about how MythArchive already
knows how to do all of the archiving. So MythVCR would just have
to get the recordings into the backend and edit or mix down.

Actually getting them in by using manual recording is probably easy.
Editing it is likely the tricky bit.

Argh. This might turn into more of a user topic if I am not careful.
