Mythreplex should actually be installed with the svn version of mythtv - not mytharchive. For some reason it's not. I noticed that there's a reopened ticket (#1774) in svn.mythtv.org about this issue, but the last discussion occurred on May 10th.
DoomedTX, I'm wondering how mythreplex got installed for you and not me - unless it has something to do with my only trying to burn shows that have been losslessly transcoded. I'll try some with cutlists tonight and see if I get any further.

P.S. - I can imagine your pain, DoomedTX. Fortunately, I've installed R5B7 on a separate hard drive in my box. I still have a fully functiotnal R5A22 on the other drive. I'd give up on MythTV entirely if I didn't have the capability of burning DVDs.

I'm very intrigued by MythArchive. Does anyone know if it handles ATSC HDTV recordings in 720p and 1080i? I haven't seen any mention of that.

Yes it does, I've had a couple of sample recordings from US testers and it *should* resample the MPEG2 streams into a DVD quality but keeping the AC3 audio from the original recording.

Actually, it didn't. I fixed my /tmp directory space problem (see previous post) and my burn attempt terminated the same way yours did with the mythreplex error. Maybe I'll throw caution to the wind and get the latest SVN to see if it has mythreplex installed.

Ok, after I spent hours building the latest svn versions of mythtv, mythplugins, myththemes and mytharchive, I discovered that there was still no mythreplex program available. I nosed around the SVN and found the file /trunk/mythtv/programs/mythtranscode/replex/Makefile.standalone. The header states "Calls the executable mythreplex" but that is the only place mythreplex is mentioned on the page. Every other reference is just replex.
The only other place I find the word mythreplex in SVN is in Changeset 9845 which has:
Code: trunk/mythtv/programs/mythtranscode/replex
* Property svn:ignore set to Makefile mythreplex
It seems as though no executable named mythreplex is ever created. Just for kicks I symlinked /usr/bin/mythreplex to /usr/local/bin/replex. I ran a DVD archive and so far it seems to be working fine. It created an ISO, and in a few hours I'll be able to burn the DVD and see how it looks. I can't wait until my new DVD burner gets here so I can stop xfering the ISO over the wireless network to burn it!

Update on the mythreplex issue:
First, symlinking to replex worked just fine. I burned 4 episodes to a DVD which, other than the long creation time, turned out just fine. The ISO creation process took just under 3.5 hours for 4 hours worth of television, compared to less than an hour for a similar DVD under mythburn.
Second, paulh pointed out that mythreplex is actually supposed to be created by replex.pro. How the search engine missed that occurrence and why mythreplex didn't build are mysteries to me. I'm wondering if something about the Code: fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b command is responsible for the missing file. In any event I'm not about to spend the time rebuilding mythtv with ./configure and qmake just to see if it helps.

All I can say about the mythreplex problem is it works for me and many other who install using the normal configure, make, make install routine.
The reason MythArchive can sometimes take longer to create a DVD than MythBurn is because it re-encodes any mpeg2 files that are not fully DVD compliant. MythBurn would try to create DVDs from any mpeg2 files regardless. Most, probably all, software DVD players like Xine would play the DVD without any problems but many hardware players are not so forgiving and would refuse to play the DVD or play it with no video or with video that is distorted etc.
If you have an encoding card that allows you to set the recording profile like the PVR-x50 cards you can eliminate the re-encoding step by setting the recording settings to produce DVD compliant MPEG2 files.
DVB users are not so lucky. You can only record the mpeg files that the broadcaster sends. Some use DVD compliant resolutions some don't and require re-encoding.

In any event I'm not about to spend the time rebuilding mythtv with ./configure and qmake just to see if it helps. That is most likely the problem. I had to change the debian build patches so that it added libmythdvdnav.a to the debian package that it created. There may be other things that are missing. Perhaps the wiki should be updated to specify the configure ; qmake ; make ; make install method of building and installing. I wanted to build it cesman's way to that his patches were included such as the knoppmyth menu, but you could still apply the patches but just use the normal build method.

I also had the same problem with mythreplex. I ended up createing a sim link to /usr/local/bin/replex.
Code: ln -s /usr/local/bin/replex /usr/bin/mythreplex I had the same problem that Doom had with not enough free space in /tmp, so what I ended up using was /myth/tmp. Execute this query to change it. Code: update settings set data='/myth/tmp' where value='MythArchiveTempDir';

Is this file a NuppelVideo file? The filename would suggest it is. In which case you will have to update to a very recent version of myth so that MythArchive can get the stream information from these files. Also you will have to update ffmpeg also so it can read these file so they can be re-encoded.
There is a thread on the mythtv users list about this very problem.

Thank you!
This info wasn't on the KnoppMyth MythArchive Wiki page, can someone update it?

Has the wiki guide been tried on R5C7?
