[mythtv-users] Can myth TV do what I want?

[Stephen Rowles]

Ace, I will try and get hold of DVD Shrink, this sounds like a much 
better solution to the problem, and will make managing the files much 
easier.

Thank you all for your responses, lots of people trying to help. I think 
I will attempt to get MythTV installed on the strength of the community 
if nothing else!

Once my case and memory arrive (they didn' turn up today, I have a hdd, 
motherboard, remote etc. waiting to go - its VERY frustrating!) I will 
be setting this up with Fedora Core 5.... I will report back with my 
success (or failure) ;)

There will be a short break though as I go to Wales for some R&R for a 
week ;)

Thank you everyone!
