Mythtv, mytharchive doesn't always work

[jaylmaz]

Just as a test, mythtv recorded four programs: three half-hours, and one full hour. Two of the half-hour shows and the one full hour show transcoded just fine, turned into a DVD just like you'd expect. One of the half-hour shows won't transcode, error 247. The error log says: unknown video codec. I have not changed anything for the four programs. I am at a loss. Any thoughts? need more info?

What version mythtv are you using?
I'm using 0.21 svn and i can't use it for few months now.
But i have totally different error(on ISO creating i have growisofs error and on disc burning something about mythburn.by).
My latest log(i tried to create ISO)

This maybe becaus some of tv shows have üõöä letters in the name!
Because show that didn't have any üõöä letters in the name burned just fine.
