Are you getting the initial prompt to Start the MythTranscoding daemon (mtd)?
If this appears, you should hit a number to start it. Or you may start it
manually. It may be helpful to start it manually, from a terminal window, so
you can see much easier what is going on.

Be sure you start mtd under the same user account as mythfrontend! If you 
sudo mythfrontend, then be sure to sudo mtd as well.

Once mtd is running, you should be able to hit 0, and the contents of your
DVD will appear.  Once you have select at least one title to process, hit 0
again.

At this point, if you get nothing, or it returns to the main screen, the mtd
has it's own log file that it keeps.  'mtd.log' is found in the directory
you specify in setup for the location of the video temp directory.
 
Hope something here helps,
James
