My recollection is that Stefan said he was hoping to continue his work 
on MythArchive, but I haven't heard anything recently.  For myself, I 
have a mode of working, and a few already exposed patches, that reliably 
deliver a limited feature set (DVB input, single language, no subtitles, 
no transcoding, boring theme), and additional bells, frills, whistles 
just increase the likelihood of failure and the need for continual 
detective work.  It would be great to have a black box that would 
painlessly create novel and faultless DVDs (or something more exotic) 
from any conceivable mix of input formats, but my chief wish is that it 
should continue to work for me.  I believe there used to be a  'Unix 
philosophy' of small tools that reliably did a single job.  MythArchive 
offers to do everything, and is a tangle.

Despite all that - if you have a good patch, go ahead :-)

Cheers,

John
