[mythtv-users] Archiving TV shows to DVD

[Jeff Simpson]

I've tried a lot of things, and here's the best solution I've found:

nuvexport to dvd or mpeg2 (cutlist only). This generates the mpg file
out of the NUV

then I use dvdstyler to make the menus and place the mpegs.

I burn an image, then burn the image to the dvd. voila!

There are probably a lot of other ways to do it, but this one doesn't
involve any commandline options. It's just "nuvexport" (menu select
the videos) then dvdstyler, which is GUI. ahhh

The dependencies are a little bit of a snag, but they are do-able.
stick with that one if you can, whenever you hit a dep., just google
it to find out what package it's in, and try to install it. I forget
what I had to install, but I remember one of them was a tarball-only,
I couldn't even find an ebuild for it.
