i also had this idea and really would like to do this. i think it can all be
done in a shell or perl skript and a few aditional code in vdr for the osd
menus.
to save the code patching  of vdr it would be cool, if the osd stuff were
separated from vdr and could configured by a conf-file. the vdr functinality
could be executed via the svdr interface.
this way everybody could configure the functionaly of his machine like he
want and no patching of vdr would be needed. just new config files.each
config file would be in the main menu. the exactly working of this could be
discussed. but i think the osd stuff should not be integrated in the vdr
programm.
does anyone agree with me? or at least understand what i am talking about?

so ok i tried to get experience in ripping under linux, i tried several
ripping skipts but each lead to a complete lockup of my machine. i think
thats a hardware problem. i have a asus p2b-s board( aix78xx scsi chip on
board) and a Plextor Ultraplex40Max scsi cdrom and a yamaha 4416s cdwriter
in the linux box.
i tried both but the result is the saame => lockup. sometimes at once after
the start another time a few minutes later.

Maybe it has to do with the messages in /var/log/messages i get every second
which read:
Dec 27 02:57:08 pentium kernel: scsi0: PCI error Interrupt at seqaddr = 0x9
Dec 27 02:57:08 pentium kernel: scsi0: Data Parity Error Detected during
address or write data phase
Dec 27 02:57:08 pentium kernel: scsi0: PCI error Interrupt at seqaddr = 0x8
Dec 27 02:57:08 pentium kernel: scsi0: Data Parity Error Detected during
address

Cd reading an dwriting is fine with the drives, just trieng to rip a audio
cd locks up.
i am using kernel 2.14.16 and the new aic78xx driver.

so if anyone come to this point....can you tell me about your thougts?

cu, Gunnar.
