Yes... The "perfect" setting just rips the main movie and stores it in
.mpg which is pretty cool because of the myth script that looks up the
movie info in IMDB and then defaults pictures and info and such. This
feature works excellent when you want to rent a movie and you don't
have time to watch it now, so you rip, return, and watch at a later
date. When I rip a perfect version, the DVD tray is not locked...
Basically the "perfect" option works great for having a small digital
library of some movies, that you aren't planning on stealing because
what good does having an 8 gig mpg file do for you? <br>
<br>
There are some of my movies though that I would like to back up with
the ISO feature. For example... all my Disney movies because my kids
get so excited about putting the DVD in the player and a DVD is only
going to last so long being handled by a 4 year old. Sure I could
just copy with a windows box and such, but Myth has the feature so I
would like to take advantage of it. When I use this ISO rip feature, it
1. locks my DVD drive door, and 2. ISO's don't produce working DVD's
using the burning software KB3. I suspect the problem is with Myth as
opposed to KB3. <br><br>

<br>-----Original Message-----<br>Using the DVD Rip option for "perfect" setting works perfectly =) When I use<br>DVD rip with the ISO setting, after the rip is complete my DVD drive will<br>no longer open... it acts like the program is not letting go of the
<br>resource. My lame solution to this is to reset the box (im sure there is a<br>better way to kill this). In addition to this problem, I have had no success<br>in taking that ISO image and burning it to DVD with KB3. The burned DVD does
<br>not work in Myth DVD player (xine or mplayer) or a stand alone DVD player.<br>Thoughts?<br>---------------------------<br><br>I suspect your problem is that even the perfect rip setting only rips the<br>main track and does not rip any menus or file structures. This behavior may
<br>have changed since I tried it last year. Now I rip my dvds with a windows<br>program that rips everything (dvdshrink) and shrinks stuff to fit a dvd5<br>disk.<br><br><br>------------------------------------------------------
