Don't think so, the decoder will probably play it fine when you dd the
file to it. I guess mythtv just doesn't match mpegts as a valid id.

BTW, you might want to try DVD-special 2 as stream type. That's the
stream type XP MCE uses, the one that's best supported by Hauppauge and
the one you don't have to remultiplex when writing a DVD.
