Happy New Year to all!
I've been pretty good about figuring MythTV out for myself but I've run into a snag that I can't seem to figure out.
Here's the issue, I'm exporting my .nuv files using nuvexport using the DVD option. When the export is complete I try to use TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6 to create the DVD. I add the newly created .mpg file and I get this error message:
***
*The video bitrate 104857 kbps is too high for a standard DVD.
The video bitrate 104857 kbps is too high for a standard DVD.
The maximum video bitrate allowed for a standard DVD is 9.8 Mbps (9800 kbps).

Here is the walkthrough code for nuvexport:
Code:
You have chosen to export 1 episode:
1. The Backyardigans:
Race Around the World (11/23/2005, 4:00 PM) 720x480 MPEG2 (4:3)
No Description
* Separate multiple episodes with spaces
c. Continue
n. Choose another show
q. Quit
Choose a function, or episode(s) to remove: c

I understand that the bitrate is too high but how do I tell nuvexport to export at a lower bitrate? Or do I need to convert the source export using another program? It is my understanding that nuvexport should transcode the file correctly for DVD creation. Do I need to setup something different in Myth so the bitrate is different?
Thanks,
