Primarily space.  I'd like to transcode the main movie, and leave out
the rest and save a ton of space... and I can do it outside of myth,
just would rather my treat a DVD iso like a DVD for import purposes.
I do use mythvideo to handle some .iso's directly and I like that for
those purposes.  However, there's plenty of reasons why a direct rip
from disc just doesn't make sense and/or work.

Thanks!
