Hello everybody.
I had a problem with burning dvd's from my recordings on my system. The system is a FC3 based, and VDR and DVB packages are installed from cachalot repository.
Some version information of conversion software: mjpegtools-1.6.3-0.lvn.0.1.rc1 y4mscaler-0.6.2-0.lvn.1 ImageMagick-6.2.2.0-2.fc3 vdr-burn-0.0.6g-0.6.pre3
The problem occured when the burn script started making menu, failing the mpeg2enc-command.
I managed to burn DVD's changin one (actually two lines) line in the script. Here is the patch:

Hope this helps.
