Post subject:  Storage directory for MythDVD transcode?
I am trying to rip some of my DVDs using mythDVD, but I am having some problems. I am using an external USB drive for storage of my movies, so I have all of my directories in the mythtv configurations pointed to the USB drive.

But I can't seem to find the setting for changing the directory where myth stores the temporary VOB files before transcoding. I tried to set the directory under Setup->Media Settings->DVD Settings->Rip Settings->Directory to hold temporary files , but no matter what I put in there it doesn't seem to matter.

Every time I try to rip a DVD, it runs for about 3 minutes and then pukes out. It gives me this error text in the mtd.log file:

"01:57:58: launching job: job dvd 1 1 3 0 -1 /home/media/movies/LUTHER
01:57:59: transcode command will be: transcode -i /storage/videos/LUTHER/vob/ -g 720x480 -f 0,1 -M 2 -V -j 0,8,0,8 -y xvid -w 1618 -o /home/media/movies/LUTHER.avi --print_status 20 --color 0
01:57:59: job thread beginning to rip dvd title
02:01:08: Error: Couldn't write blocks during a rip. Filesystem size exceeded? Disc full?"

For some unknown reason, the transcode command keeps wanting to put its files in /storage/videos. I cannot do this, because the partition that I am using for myth doesn't have enough space for that. So I need to find a way to "remap" this directory, but it almost seems to be hard coded.

Thanks!

You haven't really given enough information for this. Your setup is obviously non-standard since /storage isn't part of knoppmyth, so can you give us
1. your /etc/fstab, and
2. the output of "df -h"?

If there's nothing in /storage/videos it's quite easy to remove the directory then re-create it as a symlink pointing anywhere you like.

i had a similar problem. The error message in syslog led me to believe that something was wrong with pineapple:
Code:
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
ATAPI device hdc:
  Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
  Read of scrambled sector without authentication -- (asc=0x6f, ascq=0x03)
  The failed "Read 10" packet command was:
  "28 00 00 3f 26 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 16553984
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 2069248
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown


However
tail /myth/tmp/mtd.log
showed the problem

df -h
also showed that my /myth/video directory was full.
It is a mounted drive from teh media-server and was full

Freeing up space made the error go away.
