[mythtv-users] DVD rip preserving menus

[Derek Scollon]

Yes, I did and as fas as I could determine, it sounded like a problem with decoding some discs. Ultimately, I ended up solving the problem using my Windows machine. It's a fudge, but it never has any problem ripping discs. I'm doing almost exactly what James Oltman is describing here http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-July/095398.html except that I rip the whole disc with DVDShrink then use Nero to burn the iso to hard drive then ftp it to my myth box. The down side is that it's a bit more labour intensive and usually takes more than an hour to do, but so far it has worked every time.
