OK, its now 24 hours later, and my prompt still hasn't come back, 
indicating that ffmpeg is still running.  Can I assume that this is NOT 
normal?  I have an AMD 5400+ Dual-Core 64 bit CPU, so its a pretty 
powerful.  This now leads me back to my initial question:  why can't I 
archive a recording to DVD using a pre-packaged distro?
