Sounds really useful, particularly for anyone recording HD material who may want to covert it for mvpmc SD playback. On a related note I was playing with the Myth DVD Import/Rip function yesterday, trying to rip a vob for playback on mvpmc. Ripping the vob as 'perfect' almost seemed to work - I assume that either removes the CSS encryption (it was a region 1 disc with a DVD drive set to region 2 - libdvdcss installed on the Myth box), or that mvpmc is able to crack the keys and decrypt it itself... However... The playback wasn't smooth and the audio patchy/out-of-sync. I suspect that was because it was too much for the wireless network. Unfortunately getting it to transcode the output down to something more manageable results in it generating an MPEG4 avi, which mvpmc obviously can't cope with. What's the easiest way of transcoding a vob to a lower bit rate MPEG2? -- Mark Smith - Surrey, UK http://www.chez-moi.org.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
