Yeah, Mythburn (and dvdauthor) work fine on my Myth box, which is FC4- 
based (MythDora). It  just doesn't work on my Gentoo machine so I  
wondered if there might be something about Gentoo and dvdauthor, but  
apparently not as it works for you.

At least that narrows down the possibilities for the problem with my  
Gentoo box, thanks. I'd like to get it working on the Gentoo machine  
since it is *much* faster than the Myth machine.
