Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

I've been playing around with this since my initial post and I have successfully
created a DVD-compliant MPG using toolame, mencoder, transcode and mplex but it
takes a very long time. Not very elegant as I have to work out the filename
manually unlike the nuvexport script.

I thought my method was working but I tried my script on another recording and
it falls over in the transcode part. In fact, following the Myth TV
documentation for burning to DVD (Section 21.18) does not work as mpeg2desc
fails.

I'm really confused as to why this seems such a pain to achieve.
