Yeah I have tried that.  Thats part of the problem.  I can rip the movies
just fine, but converting them is the
problem.

        If it's going to be a problem it will probably be a problem right

Disney is the biggest problem.  I have not had any issues with any of the
other content that I have tried to
convert.  Anything recorded off live TV has converted great, hence why I
wanted to try and play the dvd and then
record it in myth, figuring it would then transcode ok.  But several disney
have ripped ok, while others drift.
The Rescuers, ALice in wonderland, and Aaladin are just a few of the ones I
have had problems with.  But Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Snow White, and
Sleeping Beauty have all worked ok.
