[mythtv-users] Mytharchive DVD fails to play

[Aaron Segaert]

I tried to burn a DVD using mytharchive, upon inserting the disc the 
menu works, but the movies fail to play, crashing the DVD player after a 
few seconds.

I'm using MythTV 0.20 and Ubuntu 6.06.

Checking in Mytharchive's working directory, the video files themselves 
are ok.  The problem is with burning the DVD.  Looking at mythburn.log, 
everything is okay until the end.  Here is the part with the error message:

These error messages are cryptic to me. Does anyone know what this means 
and how I can fix it?
