Video artifacts, and audio sync issues following cutpoints come to 
mind.  I believe I saw that someone was working on it.  The original 
author is pressed for time right now so if he has to fix it it'll be 
months from now.

Personally, I'm less and less interested in archiving to video DVDs and 
more interested in archiving MPEG4 content to backup DVDs so I can fit 
several shows on one disk.
