+MYTHTV MENU SETUP
+----------------------------------------------
+Copy the menu files provided in the GIT repository to your mythtv
+menu location:
+
+> cp optical_menu.xml /usr/share/mythtv/
+> cp rip_dvd_menu.xml /usr/share/mythtv/
+
+You'll also need to edit the rip_dvd_menu.xml file so that the paths,
+commands, buttons, actions, meet your needs to accomplish the common
+encoding tasks you will want to do.
+
+The optical_menu.xml file was modified with a single entry for the
+rip_dvd_menu.xml file. You can take a look at this entry in this file
+and place it in any xml file you want to get it on the menu you want.
+I choose to place it on the optical menu.
+
+The menu items in these examples call the rip_dvd.wrap script.
+This is a simple script I wrote to implementation hide the full
+command line options for rip_dvd from the mythtv menu system.
+I also use this wrapper script to determine where to put the
+ripped DVD images. You can copy this example and call it something
+else on your system and change it appropriately to meet your needs.
