I'm running trunk, and I've started ripping my DVDs for playback in Myth -<br>
the new 0.22 UI looks to provide a really nice way of navigating the<br>
covers. Also, I bought an Nvidia 8400GS the other day, and shifted to<br>
using VDPAU. My frontend is a Celeron mobile 1.5GHz, so prior to the<br>
VDPAU move, I pretty much didn't have enough horsepower to play back<br>
ripped DVDs.<br>
<br>
I've chosen to rip all the DVDs as .ISO - it seemed to me I might damage<br>
the originals some day and want to burn them again. However, I'm getting<br>
some playback problems with mythvideo and the internal player. I prefer<br>
the internal player because the key bindings are the same as core myth. I<br>
haven't spent a huge amount of time diagnosing this, but I'm interested in<br>
whether:<br>
- mythvideo and .iso just isn't a good idea right now<br>
- these are problems that are specific to trunk - so I should just wait<br>
for them to get fixed sometime before 0.22 releases<br>
- I've found some new and unique errors (maybe I'm the only person using<br>
.isos), and I should spend some time diagnosing them and logging defects.<br>
- I should shift to an external player instead - maybe iso playback isn't<br>
high priority for the devs right now?<br>

I am using version .21, and have about 4 different .iso files in my MythVideo directory, all of which are copies of commercial DVDs I own.<br>
<br>
I am not using VDPAU, and am not having any of the problems you described. Playback of Iso files, including DVD menus, is almost perfect.<br>
<br>
One problem I'm having is while playing back these types of ISO files, I get occasional video stutter, acommpanied by several messages like:<br>
<br>
NVP: Video is 3.11856 frames ahead of audio,<br>
doubling video frame interval to slow down.<br>
<br>
Strange, as I can play back anything from OTA ATSC, or from my PVR-350 with no trouble. I'm guessing it has something to do with the slightly different audio format, but I'm not sure what to try to fix it next.<br>
<br>
Anyway, other than that minor nit, everything seems to work just fine.<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>TV series dvds (specifically scrubs PAL dvds) have lots of menu nav problems. Screens don't refresh/etc. I think a lot of it is dvds that have either "structure protection" or "stillframes." I know not what either of those mean, but can guess based on context clues. <br>
