<P ><BR >It's the error message at the end which is causing me the grief! It's because I used a video clip shorter then it requires a frame to use as an image. I changed sample recordings to a three minute clip and the process worked fine for me from Mythweb.</P>
<P ><BR >I think the first place that you could go wrong is when using the ./install.sh script - it asks you what user you are using to run mythfrontend, but what it wants to know is your webuser. As soon as I changed my config file from 'mythtv' to 'apache' I could get the mythburn to work - at a cost of log files no longer appearing on the mythburn web page (I must have mucked that up somehow).</P>
<P ><BR >One last thing, I cannot get mythburn to produce a DVD with animated menu's. If I select the tick box, I get an error in my mythburn.log file that looks like this:</P>
