I would like them nicely organized in a UI like Myth. Ideally you could
see them in a view that listed the movies and maybe optionally played
their DVD menu's in a little window similiar to scene selection on a
DVD now :)<br>
<br>
What is the format of the DVD menu stuff? You would think you could
leave all of that alone and the DVD player would handle it like it does
now but then re-encode the main video stream to mp4. If the player can
play mp4 and mp2 does it care? Is some of the DVD menu stuff is linked
to the main video file - such as scene selection? If you re-encode then
maybe the indexing does not work? I would think you would be able to
rewrite that info if you understood the format.<br>

<pre wrap="">I am looking to get rid of the piles of DVDs around my TV by ripping
them all to HDD. However, I want them to have all the features available
on the disk. When a DVD is played does it work just like a normal DVD -
kind of like having an ISO of the DVD? What about if you choose to use
DivX to save space?

You can just use `dd if=/dev/dvd of=my_file` and you end up with an 8GB
or so file, depending on the disc. Then when you change the
configuration on your dvd player (e.g., xine) to use your file instead
of /dev/dvd.
Now if you want to transcode the mpeg-2 files to mpeg-4, but keep the
menus and everything, I don't know if there's a good solution, but I'm
certainly interested.
