Sorry folks... I'm jumping into this thread a bit late.
Looking through the wiki, it looks like the module has two main
purposes:
- Export settop-playable DVD
- Archive recording with metadata for re-import later.
A few questions:
- Does it seem possible to include the metadata in a settop-playable DVD
in a location that is harmless to the DVD spec? It would be nice to sorta
"combine the two" archive vs. export for a single backup without losing
the metadata from a mythbox.
- Will a re-import be required to use the archive in a mythbox or would it
be playable right off the disc? The latter would be ideal of course.
The ability to offload a DVD's worth of programming to a
general-purpose disc that will work in a settop-player OR be played from a
mythbox that can read the metadata doesn't seem like it would be that much
of a stretch. It would definately be slick.
