Hmm,

I'm very surprised ProjectX messed up, it's meant to be the bees.

Since your mythtranscoded PS files are OK ish you should start from there.

Maybe it's the resolution, if it's not a standard DVD resolution that
can mess things up.
Your DVD creation software will try to resize it to a suitable size.

Otherwise you could try using something like mencoder to remux the
file to something usefull.

However, I still say if the original file is SD then the Mytharchive
plugin should do the trick without resorting to any Windows spells.

Cheers
