[mythtv-users] Mythvideo not working.

[Randy Carpenter]

Well,

I have figured out a little bit more. I had chosen all of the titles that 
were listed in MythDVD to transcode. What I did not know is that the first 
one is all of the titles concatenated into one .vob file. The remaining 
titles were each title (there are multiple episodes of a certain TV series 
on this disk) So what I ended up with was everything encoded twice. Now 
that I know that, it is easier to deal with.  The naming convention for 
the files is a bit strange, though. The first file is tagged with the name 
of the disk. The first separate title is labeled as "Title 2". Confusing 
as this is "Episode 1"

Also, does anyone know how to input text properly on the for the name of 
the titles? If I try to type any numbers, it prints out a bunch of 
gibberish characters. I'd like to be able to label them "TV Show - Ep. 
101" , "... 102", etc.

I still would like to see a "Rip whole DVD including menus, and features", 
along with a properly working IMDB lookup (which doesn't work for my DVDs 
with multiple episodes)

If anyone has any further suggestions, I would appreciate it.

thanks,
-Randy
