I guess this explains why the dvds produced by mythburn play on my sony dvd player
but not my toshiba... 

This brings me to a few questions. If no one knows I will submit these to the ivtv
list. I am using the default resolution value for my hauppage card. How do I change
this? The other question is will this make the files larger or reduce the quality of
the video as right now I record at ~2.2GB / hour?

Could this mean there is a problem with my hardware / recording?
