    I use the AnyDVD option. I have a VM running on my desktop that runs AnyDVD.
Once I decrypt the disk, I use other tools to turn the decrypted BluRay into
something that MythTV can easily use.

    If the disk isn't using seamless branching, I prefer just to keep the main
title as a raw stream with no further processing done on it.

    My working space on that desktop machine is visible to all of my Myth machines
and is regularly scanned for new content so that any new items are usable by MythTV
without further intervention.

    ...which reminds me. Can the current media scanner be restricted to a single
directory? It's very handy to only scan that part of the collection where you 
expect to add something new.
