I don't see anything wrong with that command line, although the line 
break and html format at first appeared not to have a space after 4:3; 
there's no sign of a cutlist there, this is just a reencoding before 
going into mythtranscode to do the cut.

Can you play newfile.mpg?  Can you run this line standalone?  Are both 
-r ntsc and -target ntsc-dvd needed?  See, for example,

As I've said repeatedly, I prefer to do all this sort of stuff outside 
mytharchive, but it ought to work :-)
