I love my MythTV, but I do all these things on my Windows machine.  First,
it's significantly more powerful because my backend is an Athlon 1800 and my
frontend is an Atom ION.  And the tools are significantly better for DVD
authoring, transcoding, etc. (even if many are based on the same open source
products).  MythTV is an appliance in our house and as such I don't try to
shoehorn too much into it.
