After several successful attempts at using MythArchive, I'm stuck on this one: I selected 8 recordings and chose to have them written to a Single Layer DVD. However, the resultant ISO is 6.7 GB and will not fit on a single layer drive. Here is the requant section from the log:
Code:
Total size of video files, before multiplexing, is 9708 Mbytes, audio is 620 MBytes, menus are 30 MBytes.
Need to shrink MPEG2 video files to fit onto recordable DVD, video is 6354.4 MBytes too big.
Need to scale by 2.65522271425

I can see that it shrank the files a little, but not nearly enough. What else can I do to make this work automatically? In the meantime I have to move the ISO to another computer (5+ hours over my wireless network) and use DVD-Shrink on the ISO. I'd obviously rather skip those steps.
