[mythtv-users] Archiving Shows to DVD

[Fredrik Karlsson]

Sorry for the nag.. :-), but I urge you all to have a look at the scrips in the 
CVS for mythburn (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mythburn/). 
Screenshots of the results at
http://mythburn.sourceforge.net/. 
Although the package is driven by MythWeb addon scripts, the scripts
doing the work are just ordinary shell scripts. In my experience, the
php fronend has a high WAF, but a QT frontend calling the scripts
would be a very big bonus. Having to start up two computers to be able
to burn a DVD feels kinda strange.

Furthermore, if the ready-to-go scripts are used, there will perhaps
not be a need for two types of burning... it comes from the good
nature of code reuse, open source and not re-inventing the wheel where
there is (as I understand it)  no need.
