[mythtv-users] Cannot rip dvds at less than perfect quality

Wed Apr 21 20:21:35 EDT 2004

mtd.log says it completed successfully, but the .avi file never gets created.  The MythTV DVD rip gui shows the file succussfully rip, then the status changes to "Transcode is thinking .", then it exits without actually transcoding the .vob file to a .avi.

Here's the complete mtd.log:
