First thanks for all the answers, Glen I will try the ffmpeg option.
My frustration is that I have done this before, all works, and as I recall the ONLY difference is that I used an earlier version of myth. This is fixes/0.27 [v0.27-229-g9f353cc-dirty]

1) I record off air
2) generate a cutlist removing commercials (but upnp will not honour the cut list)
3) Use mytharchive to create an iso for a dvd
4) link: ln work/1/newfile.mpg /store/Movies/MrsDoubtfire.mpg

ie grab the mpg file in time.
now the mpg file will grow as needed but be kept at the end of mytharchive command

My other files ARE seekable. Did I forget something or is this broken in 0.27 ?
