[mythtv-users] export to DVD failing...

[F Peeters (MythTV)]

I have 2 movies that have been recorded from TV with a PVR250.

After they were recorded I marked the parts at the front and end I didn't
want, as well as the auto-detected comemrcial breaks, and did a lossless
transcode after that.

Now I want to put them on a DVD, so my DD can watch them on her DVD player
and I can flush them off my drive. (No, she doesn't have a myth frontend
in her room!)

So I selected the movies, went to export, selected DVD, selected the myth
theme for the menu's and selected LP (4 hours on single layer DVD)
profile.

Because it us my first try, I opted to make an ISO, rather than burning
directly to DVD, as my attempts with the mythburn tool on .19 were less
than satisfactory (it tried to put 5 GB on a single layer DVD!)

I started the ISO/DVD creation process, but after a while it aborted with
an error.

I have pasted the log below.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
