{{Outdated2|Due to outstanding issues, and the lack of time necessary to perform needed conversion to use Storage Groups, MTD has been removed from the 0.24 release of MythTV.}}
MTD is part of the [[MythDVD]] plugin. 
 
 
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
  $ mtd -n
 
 
 
 
 
The last line of text should show something like:
 
 
 
  mtd is listening on port 2342
 
 
 
This indicates that mtd is ready for use. Once you've successfully tested mtd in the foreground, type CTRL-C to stop mtd. You may then start it as a background (daemon) process.
 
 
 
  $ mtd -d
 
 
 
== transcode ==
 
If you are converting a DVD at the "good" setting, you are converting from mpeg2, to mpeg4 (xvid) internally mtd uses the transcode program [http://www.transcoding.org/ transcode program]
