[mythtv-users] DVD how-to for non PVR cards

[Cory Papenfuss]

 	At one point in the past, I looked into using DVDStyler.  I don't 
recall exactly why I had issues with it (version 0.98 IIRC), but it didn't 
quite work out.  I did, however, try qdvdauthor and succeeded in burning a 
playable DVD-RW on a settop box with menus, etc.

YMMV
