It's looking for a file it should have created previously; you've
selected at least 2 files to put on the dvd, projectx has processed them
without error and mplex should have created the remultiplexed files in
the temp directory specified at installation.

Now, the scripts try to use tcdemux to build indexes for the
remultiplexed files. This works OK for the first file, but fails for the
2nd file.

The error message is the one you get if you specify a bad filename/non
existing file.

So, let's see if we can find out what's going on; please post 
 - contents of your mythburn.conf file (in the directoy where you put
mythburn, you might want to remove the mysql password :-))
 - contents of the temp directory after mythburn stops with the error
(ls -la /incoming/mythburn)
 - free space (df)
 - result of rerunning the mplex command that failed to procduce a
remultiplexed output file(?)
   (cd /incoming/mythburn
    mplex -o /incoming/mythburn/1001_20050502200000_20050502213500.nuv \
          -f 8 1001_20050502200000_20050502213500.m2v \
	    ./1001_20050502200000_20050502213500.mpa
 - another ls -l after mplex finishes
 - result of rerunning tcdemux 
   tcdemux -i /incoming/mythburn/1001_20050502200000_20050502213500.nuv
\
           -W >
/incoming/mythburn/1001_20050502200000_20050502213500.nuv.tcindex

Hopefully we'll know a bit more and can find out what went wring with
this information.

Bye, Martin
