Hi: I've had several occasions when K3b has rejected a Mytharchive dvd 
image because it's too big.  I posted parts of the log on myth-users.

Obviously I could select the recordings more carefully, but a moderate 
requant ought to be OK and is supported.

I think the problem arises because mythburn aims to create an image that 
fills the physical storage capacity of the dvd, making no allowance for 
formatting overheads.  The Mytharchive menu quotes available capacity as 
4.38 Gb, disk capacity as 4482 Mb; in the version that I have (FC5 
atrpms) mythburn uses the latter.  It's an easy edit - does anyone have 
a definitive value?
