[mythtv-users] MythDVD

Yes, I setup a psuedo DVD changer out of a MythTV .18.1 system.
I documented the steps, with screen captures, as I always build 
everything from source.
Not that it will answer your questions directly, but it will give you 
a decent reference. I even include the caveats I experienced with 
MythDVD when I attempted to rip my DVDs to the hard drive before 
storing them away in the closet.

There were a few DVDs that I haven't figured out why MythDVD would 
recognize but wouldn't rip, but 3 out 50 isn't bad.
