[mythtv-users] DVD Rip ISO

[Daniel A. Segel]

I'ved the iso rip function in Myth to create iso files and then played 
them via xine (via Myth's Video section) without any trouble at all. 
Keep in mind that iso's created from a DVD will most likely be too large 
to burn to a single-layer disc. I've never tried to burn one to a dual 
layer disc, so I can't comment on whether or not that works.
