I looked at ratDVD a few weeks ago -- http://www.ratdvd.tk I believe a brief synopsis of ratDVD is that it transcodes DVDs *and* includes DVD menus (and some file/movie metadata?) in a single file/container. > what has this to do with mythtv? it would be nice to rip some DVDs with menus and not take 4+gb per ISO image. > anyway ratdvd seems to use some very new (maybe even of their own making) > codecs. They do have their own codec which is windows only, I believe that DIVX6 intends to provide similar menu functionality, so that's probably where we'll see Linux support for encoding and playback of video files with menus and metadata. -Ross _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
