[mythtv-users] Ripping DVD's

[Bruce Nordstrand]

Thanks William

I'll try one of the others out. I must admit that I am having trouble 
getting Medium to appear... I am installing everything I can find with 
no luck...

Oh, and luckily I have a 250Gb drive dedicated to TV :) This 80Gb is for 
video & music....

Cheers
Bruce
