So, after experimenting around with a few things, I'm no closer to figuring things out.<br><br>I tried a lower quality rip "excellent" vs "prefect" and that didn't change things.<br>Then, I quit out of mythfrontend and tried playing the rip directly with mplayer from a terminal and it worked flawlessly.
<br>Then, I went into the setup and tried messing around with the mplayer options under the Video settings. This doesn't seem to have changed a thing.<br><br>I'm totally baffled. Where are the player settings for playing rip'd dvds? I assume it was under Video->Playback settings, but changing the player didn't do anything. I also tried changing the DVD player from internal to mplayer, but that didn't seem to have any affect either.
<br><br>Can anyone even tell me if I'm looking in the right place?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Jared<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/23/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Willy Boyd</b> <<a href="mailto:willyboyd@gmail.com">
