[mythtv-users] Option to save in DVR-MS format

[Vince]

At best I would want this to be a flagged option as your concerns are 
well warranted!

But DVR-MS ability could save the life of MythTV.  When the CableCard 
Digital media adapters are available for Vista I fear the outlook for 
MythTV is grim!

After a year of searching, I have yet to find any tools that will let me edit and burn video in that format or convert reliably to a format I can work with, and MCE has even made my usual video tools (WinTV2000, Roxio 7.5 and 8.0, etc) fail when trying to use the PVR-150 MCE that came in the box.
