Carl,

I was following you up until you associated exit status 235 with
TRANSCODE_BUGGY_EXIT_WRITE_FRAME_ERROR.  I don't understand
how you tied the two together, but I think it has been overcome by events, 
anyway.

In looking over the code, I got the idea that maybe it had to do with the cutlist, so
I went back to the cutlist editor and found that I didn't have a start cutpoint for the 
initial cut, just the end cutpoint.  (Implying cut from frame 0 to <n>.)  I also didn't
have the end cutpoint for the final cut, just the start cutpoint.  (Implying cut from 
frame <x> to $.)

After I added explicit cutpoints and tried re-running mythArchive, I no longer get the
above listed error message.  This leads me to suspect that the result is somehow
related to a cutpoint (a frame number, perhaps?).

In any case, thank you for trying to help.  Help is always appreciated (at least on
this node of the network).

Craig
