[mythtv-users] Anyone managed to burn standard DVDs

[Bilge Tutak]

I have used videotrans software. [videotrans.sourceforge.net]
It is probably not the best way to create DVDs, but I used it before
when I had problems with MythArchive and I had to create DVDs. The
problem with videotrans is I had to create video and audio streams for
all the videos, which takes a lot of time. I do not know if this is
the case with MythArchive. However, I spend some time with videotrans
and now I have quality DVDs with fancy menus.
