I do this by setting MythTV to use xine instead of mplayer (so I can use
menus) and specifying the xshm or xv video driver. You may also need to
tell it that an iso file is a recognized video format. It works OK, but
not great - there are sometimes picture quality and/or sound issues, but
since I'm constantly tweaking things it's hard to narrow down what the
problem(s) are. I'm still working on making it work better. Oh - it
doesn't support Closed Captioning either, but if you have subtitles you
can use those if you need to.

I haven't tried burning from MythTV yet.

Hello all,

I am new to this group. I am looking into the possibility of setting up a MythTV box. but have a question for you all. I have a large collection of DVD ISO images on my computer, which I would like to take advantage of through MythTV. Can MythTV handle DVD ISO images "as-is"? That is, can I have MythTV simply load the DVD images up and run them?

I would like to be able to know if MythTV can handle the raw ISO files without transcoding/re-encoding.

Also, can I use MythTV to burn one of the ISO's straight to a DVD?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Regards,
  Dennis
