If you have it set to an appropriate resolution for DVD, you <br>> can opt not to re-encode when using MythArchive (I can't remember off <br>> the top of my head what to choose to do this, but I know there's an <br>> option to not re-encode the video) and it will simply burn the file <br>> as-is. As long as the source is appropriate for a DVD, it will play <br>> back just fine.<br>> <br>> -Brad<br><br>Brad,<br><br>I was having trouble with audio keeping in sync with the video on burned DVDs (made with mythArchive), so I changed my setup to mark commercials but not transcode during captures.
