Ubuntu-US-NM Mythbuntu 7.10 Released

[Ubuntu US-New Mexico Team]

Eric,

I remember you saying that you have ripped all of your DVDs.  What video
format did you encode them into and what software did you use?

Typically, these video formats have multiple quality options.  What did you
use for your dvd ripping?  

Thanks,
Chris.
