What I ended up doing was making an ISO of the files so that they would be ready to burn to a DVD and play in any old player. But instead I just copied the ISO to my video dir and in myth I setup how to play the ISO's using xine (Utilities&setup/Setup/Media Settings/Video Settings/File Types). In File types I added a new extension of iso with a command of "xine -pfhq --no-splash dvd:/%s/" (no quotes).
Once all of that was done I could play the iso just like it was a dvd. Hope that helps. Stephen _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
