DVDs are MPEG2 video and AC3/PCM/MP2 audio. The video should play perfectly on the 350's decoder without having to touch it - just rip it out into a single MPEG2 file. If you want audio to play through the PVR card, you'd need to transcode to MP2 format (if AC3/PCM) and remux this with the MPEG2 video. I'm not sure if it's possible yet to route video through the PVR card and audio straight through a suitable soundcard with SPDIF etc, but this would give the user the best of both worlds. I guess A/V sync would be a big issue... > Is it possible to setup a separate machine so that I could use the DVD > Playing capability of Myth?

Otherwise, you could use another machine, share some space as a 'movies' NFS share, and then rip your DVDs and play them over the network from the share through MythVideo on the TV.
