mythburn.py version: .0.1.20080628-1-fixes

I'm trying to create a DVD with a few video files.  I pre-encoded them 
to DVD format using mencoder w/ the following options:

of=mpeg=1
mpegopts=format=dvd
srate=48000
ofps=24000/1001
ovc=lavc=1
oac=lavc=1
lavcopts=vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1825:keyint=18:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=3250:aspect=16/9:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192
vf=scale=720:480,harddup
af=lavcresample=48000


I then go through the myhtarchive screens add the files and use the 
don't re-encode option.

mythburn.py gives me the following output:
