thing I saw many newer DVDs that were just plain broken. i.e. They had<br>
copy protection on them such that when ripping under Linux I would end<br>
up with a iso file of 20GB or it would just hang sometime during the<br>
process. At least many of the newer (less than a year old) discs have a<br>
note on the package. I now use DVDFab 5 under Wine to rip them. Of<br>
course I have no idea how you could do that from within Myth.<br>

Some just refuse to get past certain points and I give up. I think there are certain errors built into DVDs that a standalone player will just jump right past, but trying to get a bit for bit copy just cant be done.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>I stopped using Myth to get my movies from the optical disk. I found it 10x easier to just install WINE and run the free version of DVDFab from <a href="http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm">http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm</a> I have yet to find one that it won't copy for me... both new and old. You will have to run a transcode seperately though.<br>
