 I have burned a few of my kid's favorite TV show to DVD before for the
long trips and this is the general method I've used. I would use the
command "ffmpeg -i filename.mpg -c:a copy -c:v copy -ss 00:11:22.333 -to
33:22:11.000 trimmed.mpg" to cut just the parts you want, and then using
devede to burn it. I have had an issue with devede where it tries to invoke
the removed option "-newaudio" with ffmpeg - which is a known bug (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devede/+bug/1328774). This was
actually one of the major reasons I wanted to use MythTV to begin with.
