[Larry Johnson <keepitsimpleengineer@…>]

Version fixes/0.24(df2d58b)

Optical Disks>Archive Files>Create DVD> Single Layer, Make ISO Image Theme: Compact Add Recording

ISO Image was created but cutlist was ignored, edited cuts remained in DVD video

[J.Pilk@…]

I just tried to reply to this on the commits list but ISTR that's restricted. Did you activate the cutlist in the 'select archive items' screen? The scissors turn red. Users' list query really.

Replying to J.Pilk@…:

If there is such an option on that screen, it is very well hidden. Attached are screen shots for the archiving DVD creation Set-up. 5 is the "Select Archive Items" screen. The only thing that changed (other than buttons) when clicked on was the red ⬆⬇ next to the scissors icon.

[J.Pilk@…]

I agree it's well hidden, and although I was more explicit in the lost email I didn't provide the key in the comment on this ticket. You need to select the relevant recording and then use the 'menu' or 'm' key to bring up a list of options. HTH.

User error, as J.Pilk already has mentioned, you need to select the recording, click the 'menu' key and choose to use the cutlist.

Could you please point me to where this is documented. I thought I had read all the documentation. This is so I won't bother all with something else. Thanks,

I don't know if it's documented anywhere, but the menu-key is used in most parts of MythTV (+plugins) to enable menus for further configuration for a particular item. Please feel free to add it to the wiki if you can find a suitable place for it (just create an account and you'll be able to edit the wiki).

If you have further questions, please follow up on the users mailing list.
