I observed this same problem.  One other problem was with the creation
of chapters.  The movie I was archiving was about 2 hours long.  The
first 10 chapters were about 2 minutes each, and the last chapter was
about 1-1/2 hours.

Overall, though, mythburn worked well for me.  I am very, very pleased
to have a working solution after being bitten far too many times by the
PVR-x50 a/v sync issue that Cory Papenfuss has explained so often.
Thanks so much to Martin for working on this.

By the way, I use Debian, and I didn't have any problems getting the
dependencies and permissions set up.  The only wrinkle was to create a
projectx executable that user 'www-data' (the username that runs apache)
could run.
