Exactly. I have the ISOs playing find with xine through mythvideo. I am interested in an easy method of using mythdvd to rerip these ISOs to a lossy format when I need to free up some hard drive space.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>> Media Library->Watch Videos. To do so the .iso file should be in the<br>> directory you provided by selecting Utilities/Setup->Media<br>> Settings->Video Settings->General Settings from the Main Menu and typing

<br>want to rip it into Perfect, or some other format, to get rid of the<br>8GB ISO file, and end up with a single 4GB MPG, or something similar.<br>I haven't succeeded at this either.<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">
