That is intended behaviour. Mtd (myth transcoding daemon) is not mature
enough to be a system daemon started at boot. As it works now, whenever
you need to transcode a DVD, you can launch it from the GUI whether it
crashed or just has not yet been run.

Transcoding DVD's has _nothing_ to do with transcoding recorded
television. Not sure what your problem is there, but it is not related
to the mtd.
