Agreed. The surest way for a feature request to become a feature is to write the code. :) I'll try to take a look at the code tonight. Not making any promises, esp as my C++ skills are a bit rusty. Do any of the current developers have any comments about a MythVHS module being added with the purpose of making it as easy as possible to import VHS tapes into Myth?
