will give it a shot when i get home tonite ... dunno who's in charge of docs, 
but it may be a good idea to put something like this in the MythVideo section 
under "Tips and Tricks" or something ... just a tho'

well, they're getting much more advanced than i was initially thinking ... def 
interested to see where it ends up, tho'

except for some reason xine likes to keep my dvds locked for me :S  but that's

actually never have messed with it mostly because all my important drives were
