I have a fair collection of DVD ripped as iso's on my LinHES box. The internal player works pretty well for me.

In these days of portable devices, i have need of ripping the the movie or episodes of TV series to smaller format files.

I going to leave the iso's as is.

I know I can mount the iso images with
Code:
sudo modprobe loop
sudo mkdir -p /media/iso
sudo mount -o loop /myth/video/NAME_of_DISK.iso /media/iso

if I change
- Service Menu
-- MythTV Configuration
--- Setup
---- Media Settings
----- Video Settings
------ Player Settings
------- DVD Drive (from /dev/dvd to /media/iso)
it plays the same as if I stuck the disk back in the drive.

But when I try
- Optical Disks
-- Import DVD
it just sits and curns with "No Jobs. Checking and waiting for DVD." on the screen

I tried hard coding
- Service Menu
-- MythTV Configuration
---- Setup
----- Media Settings
------ Video Settings
------- Rip Settings
-------- Title Playing Command (by replacing the %d with /media/iso)
but got the same results.

If I try type that same Title Playing Command, supplying the other %variables, the video from that iso plays, so the command is right.

It almost seems like there is a hard coded "/dev/dvd" or the system waits for a change of state on the dvd player, before the transcode begins.

Or should I just skip that, and write a script to transcode all the disks (if I can ever figure out transcode command line),

Thanks in advance

I had a try at this but couldn't get as far as you. I can successfully mount the iso but if I try to play the mounted iso as a dvd after making the adjustments you recommend, the system drops back to Mythwelcome. My default video player is Internal and when I tried Mplayer nothing at all happened.

You should be able to rip a dvd image with mplayer without mounting it.

I don't have access to mplayer right now (at work) but from memory, it's something like this (for a perfect rip):
mplayer -dvd-device <your-iso-image> dvd://<n> -dumpstream -dumpfile mydvd.vob

You'd have to find out the correct value for n but you can do that just by showing the dvd using just the part prior to the <n>. I.e.
mplayer -dvd-device <your-iso-image> dvd://
The terminal output gives a stack of useful information, including track numbers.

You can then use compress the file. Again, not sure about this, but it's in mythconverg -> dvdtranscode. Have a look at this with:
Code:
echo 'select * from dvdtranscode'|mysql -u root mythconverg


Then look at the man page for transcode. Even better, look at your transcode log files, which will probably have the correct command line translation of one of your previous transcodes. I think this would be in /myth/tmp/logs.
