</div> I dunno. I suspect that if you bypass MythTV when working with optical<br>
media you will be better off and much less frustrated. It is an open system.<br>
So you don't have to use the "vendor tool". You can rip stuff off of DVD or<br>
author it back on without even touching MythTV proper.<br>
<br>
There might even be a suitable bash or perl script floating out there<br>
that would be just the thing. If I did this sort of thing, I would already<br>
have such a thing lying around.<br></blockquote><div><br>I love my MythTV, but I do all these things on my Windows machine. First, it's significantly more powerful because my backend is an Athlon 1800 and my frontend is an Atom ION. And the tools are significantly better for DVD authoring, transcoding, etc. (even if many are based on the same open source products). MythTV is an appliance in our house and as such I don't try to shoehorn too much into it.<br>
