After above clarification, yes.

You may have more options, but you risk losing A/V sync every time you 
demux audio and video, so be careful (and keep backups until you know it 
worked).  I should also admit that I don't archive to DVD--I'm a watch 
and delete guy.  I made a some DVD's, but decided the only shows worth 
keeping on DVD are the ones worth buying on DVD (i.e. Stargate SG-1 ;).  
When I buy the shows, I get additional features that I want, anyway, 
and--most importantly--it saves me time.
