This is driving me crazy. I'm a newbie and after :days" of looking at posts, I still cannot get Mythburn to complete. Please, if anyone can help I would be eternally greatfull.

Here is the Mythburn error.

Thanks

It's a permissions issue. Basically mythburn is trying to write to /myth/mythburn/temp but it doesn't have write permission. I've always had a lot of problems getting mythburn to work due to permissions issues. Try running:
Once you get past this error, you'll probably find that you can't actually burn the disc cause you don't have write permission to /dev/hdc. That can be fixed (I think) by adding the user www-data to the cdrom group.

Thanks for the help, but unfortunatly;

"chmod 664 /myth/mythburn/temp"

didn't work. It actually killed mythburn. So I tried to change the permision with;

"chmod 777 /myth/mythburn/temp"

I realize that this may not have been a great idea, but mythburn started to work again. I now have a new error;

Here is the Mythburn log file (edited)

Just in case it helps, this is my current setup;

Knoppmyth RA22
Sempron 2400
ASRock K7S41 (SiS 741)
Hauppage 250 (silve remote - working)
MSI 440 64meg AGP 8X Video
512 meg PC2700 RAM

My bad. I think it should actually be 764 or 774 (777 will of course work, but not as safe). I changed my original post. Regarding your new error, I don't know.

I changed the chmod to 774 (hope that is correct) and did a apt-get install ffmeg.

That seems to have corrected the problem. I have a working ISO file.

Almost there.....

I have one last error...

Extracting thumbnail image from time frame 5994-5995
***ERROR*** There was a problem extracting image so using dummy instead ***ERROR***

The DVD menu doesn't have a thumbnail....

If I get this one fixed, I might even try to tackle my nuv2 problem.
