I'm afraid I have always found the MythArchive logs and, particularly, 
the failure messages singularly unhelpful.  I've just archived a short 
recording, cut and converted to .mpg, to .iso without problems, using 
Master without my usual tweaks aimed at DVD creation.

This is what I see:

I won't paste the logfile here, but the full one, rather that the RHS 
that is displayed. might give something useful.
