In MythTV, "Dr. Who" is the title, and the individual episode name is 
the subtitle.  It sounds like your recordings either have no subtitle, 
or mythvidexport is unable to match the subtitle with data from 
TheTVDB.  Either way, it's treating it as a generic file, which defaults 
to the path <videos root>/Videos/<title>.<ext>.  Try altering your 
generic file format to include a subtitle.

mythvidexport.py --gformat "Videos/%TITLE% - %SUBTITLE%"
