George, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking - the fine grain
control is wonderful, but as these kinds of things often go, it's a bit of
overkill for most situations.  Insert a blank, select "Burn to DVD", and off
you go would be wonderful.

I would definitely interested in cooperating on this, assuming there's
interest and agreement in principle from the maintainers, and while I don't
have a lot of experience with the Myth codebase, I am a very experienced
software developer.   I'll start digging around the code and see what's
what.
