Understood.  I have used the re-encoder only a few times, with UK DVB-T2 
h264 recordings, and I found that dropping the -copyts line worked, 
while retaining it didn't.  That appears to be situation with mpeg2 HD 
material in the US, too.  I suppose it's the result of changes in 
ffmpeg/avconv.

If it gets dropped I suppose people may create a DVD only to find that 
it has A/V sync problems, although I haven't seen any report of that.

My preference is to record SD material that doesn't need re-encoding. 
With HD material I would re-encode and/or cut outside MythArchive, so 
that problems there can be detected early and problems arising later 
don't need another re-encoding run.

With that said, I think omitting the -copyts line makes sense.  I have 
it 'copied out' in all the profiles in ffmpeg_dvd_pal.xml and 
ffmpeg_dvd_ntsc.xml
