I've made dozens of CVDs from my recorded MythTV files. Also DVDs. I single 
shows on CVD and episode collections on DVD.

I don't have any recent experience transcoding non-MPEG2 .nuv files though, I 
am using PVR-250 cards to capture directly to 1/2 D1 so I can avoid 
transcoding. What format are you capturing in? I've transcoded MPEG4 and DivX 
to MPEG2 1/2 D1 a few times. I rarely use mpeg2enc directly, I usually use 
transcode and mplex.
