Indeed. I paid for the coding of the multiplex feature. It helps with
the tiny Epia casing. :-)

But mythplex appears to be able to do it.
mencoder can dump the audio and the video and with mplex I can mux again
but then the audio goes away after about a minute. :-(
So I thought mythreplex was the solution.

It isn't.
Each mpeg is just the show I chose to record. /Not/ the entire multiplex.
So each mpeg has a video stream and an audio stream.
Just the format needs to be tweaked slightly for DVD.
