[mythtv-users] DVD -> svideo on pvr250

Hi all, sorry if this has been covered before, but I have been unable to
find it.  I have a large collection of childrens DVD's for
my daughter.  I wanted to rip all of them to the mythbox, so that I had
instant access to all of them.  I also wanted to
encode the main titles only as xvid to conserve space.  That and my daughter
doesn't need any of the bonus features, etc.
I have been able to rip them on my windows box and transcode them no
problem.  However the audio and video never
sync.  I have tried every option in all the ripping/encoding tools and still
no luck.

What I wanted to do, was put the movie in the dvd player, hook the svideo
output of the dvd player into the
svideo input of the pvr250.  Play the dvd, record it off of the svideo input
and then transcode it to xvid.
Complicated I know, but it beats transcoding for hours only to realize the
audio is off sync.
My basic question is, this seems possible, but has anyone tried this or know
for a fact that it is or is not
possible.

thanks
joe
