I'm having similar issues, but I've also noticed that the problem of having
to switch audio tracks is happening to me when doing a lossless mpeg2
transcode in myth...all the commercials are cut, but when I play the file in
myth I have to manually switch audio track..not sure if it's this that is
causing mytharchive to burn the dvd incorrect as well??

Any chance you can transcode some of your recordings and see if you have to
switch the audio track afterwards??

Thanks

Roy
