[mythtv-users] Burning DVD with MythArchive

[jim scott]

You can change the max bitrate allowed by mplex with -r.

So adding something like -r 15000 might fix the mplex problem. However, this
would likely result in an unplayable DVD. You might want to try writing a
'long play' DVD. This would make a copy of your input video at a relatively
low bitrate.
