Hi Lawrence,

I unlike some here feel that storing a complete DVD longterm is not
worthwhile and RIP DVDs on the backend and then transcode the relevant
titles with handbrake to h264 saving a tonne of space with no
noticeable quality loss - my view may change when I get a bigger TV.

A daemon that automatically sees that disc and does the ripping then
puts the ISO in a location I can use to immediately play the ISO or
complete the manual transcode would be great as it would mean anyone
in the house can play DVDs - at the moment I dont let them ;-)

As to why you're not getting a lot of "I like that; me-to" responses,
well this is on the dev list.
