<P>MythDVD is a part of the <B>mythplugins</B> package. See
<A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO-13.html#mythplugins_">MythPlugins</A> for instructions on downloading the
tarball. MythDVD is an application which rips DVDs and makes them available for
use with MythVideo. You may also transcode the DVD content from MPEG-2 to
other formats which should greatly reduce the amount of space the DVD
material takes up on your hard drive.</P>
<P>MythDVD has a number of prerequisites to enable transcoding functionality.
If you only wish to play DVDs rather than convert them to something like
MPEG-4 or xvid you may skip the prerequisite installation step.</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss20.1">20.1</A> <A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc20.1">Manual Compilation of Prerequisites</A>
</H2>
<H2><A NAME="ss20.2">20.2</A> <A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc20.2">Pre-compiled binaries</A>
</H2>
<P>Mandriva users may install the prerequisites this way:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
# urpmi libdvdread3 libdvdread3-devel a52dec liba52dec-devel
# urpmi mplayer ogle xine
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
Assuming that you've added a PLF mirror, you may also load the rest of the
prerequisites using the following command:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
# urpmi xvid xvid-devel fame libfame0.9-devel transcode libdvdcss
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>In the example below, we have enabled support for transcoding and for VCD
playing. You may remove these options if you don't need them.
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
$ cd ~/mythplugins-0.20
$ ./configure --disable-all --enable-mythdvd --enable-transcode --enable-vcd
$ qmake mythplugins.pro
$ make
$ su
# make install
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<H2><A NAME="ss20.3">20.3</A> <A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc20.3">Running the Myth Transcoding Daemon</A>
</H2>
<P>Transcoding ("ripping") a DVD requires you to run the Myth Transcoding
Daemon (mtd). To ensure that mtd is configured correctly, you should first
test it at the command line.
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
$ mtd -n
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
The last line of text should show something like:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
mtd is listening on port 2342
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
This indicates that mtd is ready for use. Once you've successfully
tested mtd in the foreground, type <B>CTRL-C</B> to stop mtd. You may
then start it as a background (daemon) process.
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
$ mtd -d
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>Running mtd as a daemon will allow you to automatically start it during the
boot process. For example, you may add <CODE>mtd -d</CODE> to your
<CODE>rc.local</CODE> file, or you can adjust the script/steps outlined in the
section called
<A HREF="mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#mythbackend_autostart">Automatically starting mythbackend at system boot time</A> to start mtd instead of mythbackend.</P>
