It seems like this comes up a lot, but all the solutions involve a 
rather convoluted and fragile collection of scripts all depending on 
mencoder, exportvideo, mplex, etc.  I have never gotten any of these 
"export to VCD" scripts to work because mencoder or mplex fails for a 
variety of reasons.  Perhaps we need to work on an export function that 
uses built-in mythlib functions and additions to the lib set instead of 
relying on external scripts.

My biggest problems in Myth come from relying on external programs 
(using mplayer with MythVideo still doesn't work for me, for example).
