I have had the same problem. Well not 4 hours but the time was still way too long.
And for the video and audio was messed up by the transformation. Two 1.3GB shows
were turned into 750MB each and they lost their video/audio sync. Also since there
were changes to the database mythburn does not work anymore so I changed my setting
for my profile for ntsc from 480x480 to 720x480 and I have also disabled the code in
mythburn.py that does the reformatting so I can burn my old shows without this
problem. Attached is a diff of my changes to disable this.
