I'm having a horrible success rate in burning DVD<br>using MythArchive as I'm getting maybe 1 in every 10<br>recordings to burn. From looking at the log files it<br>looks like the audio/video gets out of sync causing<br>mplex to drop too many frames thus resulting in an

<br></blockquote></div><br>I am in now way an expert on MythBurn or MythArchive. I've run enough files through mplex to have similar errors. Rather than a sync issue, are you sure that you're not exceeding the max DVD bitrate? If your video is 10400 kb/s and your audio is 192 kb/s, then I would guess that's the culprit. I believe the max total bitrate for a DVD is around
<a href="http://www.videohelp.com/dvd">10080 </a>kbs. I would try using a lower bit rate for your video -- say, 8500 kbps.<br><br>Again, I'm not an expert, but I'd take a hard look at whether you are exceeding the DVD's capabilities. mplex enforces the DVD bitrate limit for you.
