As I understand it, DVD players can't deal with file sizes larger than 1 GB. So when you rip a DVD with most common tools, you'll get consecutive vobs of a max 1GB in size.
You don't need to stitch them back together, but there is a short pause when the player "changes reels". Of course, there is no 1GB restriction in Linux, so look if your ripping tool supports going to a single .vob file. The native MythDVD ripper supports this, I believe, as well as ripping the disc to an iso -- which will keep menus and special features. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
