I have many DVDs with intentionally introduced errors that make any
complete sector by sector rips take hours using something like
ddrescue. Wouldn't a similar approach tie up the front-end for an
unreasonable period of time? Personally, I'd never use the feature,
but I figured I should throw it out there.
On the other hand, a combination of the discussed job-based
transcoding, storage groups, and something like a command-line ISO
importer would be huge for my configuration and usage patterns.
If someone was to provide a sample snippet for a libmyth app that
sticks an ISO into a storage group, I'd commit to flushing that out
into a fairly comprehensive CLI importer.
