Unfortunately not.  Mark Kendall was looking at it but now that he's
left I think that the patches have been left dangling.

If you are interested, I maintain an archive of patches here:
http://www.softsystem.co.uk/download/mythtv/mythbuild-CURRENT.zip

The iso playback patch (for fixes/0.25) is here:
mythpatches-0.24/mythtv-0.25//0043-libmythtv-Play-encrypted-dvd-s-and-iso-images-from-s.patch

and this is the patch that added back DVD ripping:
mythpatches-0.24/mythtv-0.25//0034-Mythvideo-restore-DVD-ripping.patch

This patch enables mytharchive to burn the ripped iso image:
mythpatches-0.24/mythtv-0.25/0044-mytharchive-Add-capability-to-burn-a-user-selected-i.patch

This patch adds support for storage groups to mytharchive:
mythpatches-0.24/mythtv-0.25/0070-mytharchive-Add-support-for-Storage-Groups.patch

The last patch allows mytharchive to be run on a remote frontend and
build a DVD using material from any BE.

In the archive there are versions of the patches against fixes/0.24,
fixes/0.25 and master from today's git repo.  I try to update the
patches weekly or better.
