I'd just like to remind people that the internal player still has
troubles with my MythArchive creations. Of course this may be a
region/standards problem. I've said it before, and provided, long ago,
some feedback. Menu selection boxes don't show if still frames are
displayed, so I don't use that theme; with moving menu frames the menu
geometry is wrong; and perhaps because I use mp2 sound I have to leave
the menu showing for about 10 seconds to have some hope of getting sound
in the main feature. I don't think all the DVD problems arise from
greedy moguls and I wish less effort was expended on commercial
pathological cases and more on creating a reliable archive/playback
facility... But now everyone talks of Blu-Ray, multi-terabyte disk
arrays and h264. I test everything with vlc before burning.

Maybe the rewrites for 0.24 will change things. Still a great resource!
