MythTV archiving and transcoding
I’ve been running my MythTV box for a few weeks now and its slowly getting bogged down with numerous recordings that I want to keep, Non auto-expiring recordings are taking over the majority of my hard drive and I need to setup a system of getting them off the box and onto DVD.
MythArchive, i hear you scream, unfortunatly i’ve not got a DVD-R drive in the Myth box. So which method to use? MythTranscode or Nuvexport? My previous experiments with Nuvexport have outputted low quality rubbish no matter what settings i’ve been using, I must be doing something wrong. MythTranscode on the other hand seems to convert my DVB Mpeg2 recordings to Nuv format with little size difference.
I’ve hunted around previously for settings and processes but got nowhere, can anyone advise me on their setup or point me the in the right direction? All my recordings are from pure DVB sources so i’m working with MPEG2 files.
You mytharchive and burn them to a dvd iso. Then copy the iso off to your desktop and burn it to a DVD

Burning to a ISO? Is that standard functionality in MythArchive? If so i’ve missed it in the options somewhere, doh!
