The original issue at hand here, messed up directories should be
resolved. The default directory is now /var/lib/mythtv/videos. The
other issue, with the user being in the cdrom group is also resolved via
the autologin script. If there are any other related issues, please
file them in a separate
I've been having similar problems with ripping dvds into MythTV. I think
that it has to do with a transcode problem, although transcode is
installed. When I rip a dvd as an ISO or as "Perfect" quality it works.
But when I rip a DVD with any lower quality options like "Good" or
"Excellent" it goes t
Jeremy, thanks for your reply. I am using the standard ubuntu edgy
binaries for mythtv, transcode, ffmpeg, et al, and installing transcode
and the xvid libraries allows me to rip at the good and medium settings.
I understand your point on the suggests, and maybe that is indeed the
right way to go
Considering that the DVD can be transcoded into a multitude of formats,
I think a suggests would be more appropriate. transcode is already a

but not transcode.

the directory that DVD are ripped to in MythVideo settings, not MythDVD
settings. I set it to /var/lib/mythvideo/ and it worked fine. (You
could probably add dvd to that if you created the directory, it all
depends how you w
There are several issues at hand here. The big one is that the user
running mtd needs to have access to the "cdrom" group. libdvdcss2 will
need to be installed if the user wants to be able to rip commercial
dvds. I will look into the directories. With feisty, I plan to
standardize everything am
Hello and thank you for reporting.
Just to clarify things, is the original error message regarding the directory
"/share/Movies/dvd" and the one you receive when trying "Good" quality
different? If so, what is the error?
The directory "/share/Movies/dvd" is the default directory which is
