Are you editing other content into this home movie? If so, what software are you using? Handbrake and FFmpeg are two programs that will do what you want, although both are command line only on Linux. I suspect Handbrake will be easier for a first time user, although I confess I've not used it on Linux. I use it on OS X, where it has a GUI. The downsides are that it will only rip to mpeg4 or h.264 (from the GUI, anyway), and you can only select individual chapters. <br>
FFmpeg will do most anything you want it too, but the documentation is long and thick, and there 4 bazillion command line options. If you are interested in using asomething other than MythTV to accomplish your task, I will conjure up the necessary FFmpeg commands for you. <br>

Greetings<br>
<br>
I have a freinds wedding DVD that I want to extract a few minutes of to<br>
put into a home movie. This is the process I followed using 0.21 fixes but<br>
something is amiss!!<br>
<br>
1. I've done a 'perfect' rip of it to a vob file which is in my video<br>
directory.<br>
2. I've run mythcommflag --video to create a seek table for it<br>
3. I've played it in the Internal viewer, entered Edit mode and added<br>
cutpoints<br>
4. I've run mythtranscode --video --honorcutlist but it doesn't. I get a<br>
copy of the whole vob file.<br>
<br>
Now here is the strange bit - if I go back into mythvideo to check the<br>
cutpoints on the original vob file, I get a blank screen for about 2<br>
seconds and then I'm back at the menu. I had to rename the file, rescan<br>
under video manager and rename the file back again to get something<br>
viewable back again.<br>
<br>
Can someone either tell me where I've gone wrong or if it is even possible?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
