 	Sorry folks... I'm jumping into this thread a bit late.

 	Looking through the wiki, it looks like the module has two main 
purposes:
- Export settop-playable DVD
- Archive recording with metadata for re-import later.

 	A few questions:
- Does it seem possible to include the metadata in a settop-playable DVD 
in a location that is harmless to the DVD spec?  It would be nice to sorta 
"combine the two" archive vs. export for a single backup without losing 
the metadata from a mythbox. 
- Will a re-import be required to use the archive in a mythbox or would it 
be playable right off the disc?  The latter would be ideal of course.

 	The ability to offload a DVD's worth of programming to a 
general-purpose disc that will work in a settop-player OR be played from a 
mythbox that can read the metadata doesn't seem like it would be that much 
of a stretch.  It would definately be slick.
