Please excuse my ignorance. I just don't get this... I get an i/o error when I try to run this 'dd' command, either as mythtv or root. Also, I'm not sure about 'copy_of', should this be the name of the DVD? For instance, I want to rip my copy of Black Hawk Down to the Mythbox, do I use this: dd if/dev/dvd of=/tmp/BLACK_HAWK_DOWN.iso bs=2048 xine dvd:///tmp/BLACK_HAWK_DOWN.iso If I mount /dev/dvd and list the files, I only see JACKET_P and VIDEO_TS. Feel free to call me an idiot, but if someone can provide a quick step by step I would greatly appreciate it. --Garry _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
