Is it possible to rip a dvd from a frontend machine?
Yes. As a matter of fact, the only way to rip from a backend-only
machine is using something other than Myth.
When I try running mtd -n from a shell it gives the output listed
below. Is this a setup problem on my frontend or am I just trying
to do something impossible. There is no DVD reader in the backend
and it is not readily accessible so not really an option to do from
there.

You need to configure your frontend machine (
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-10.html ). If you've already done
this, make sure you're starting mtd as the same user that starts
mythfrontend.

HMMM, I finally got tired of that mtd error message, so I just added it
to /etc/rc.local:
#Myth Transcode Daemon
mtd &
I can't say I have had any issues with it running that way, and I start
MythFrontend with my regular user account.
I'll have to look at that again.
