   Many thanks for all the help and ideas :-)   
      
   Linux Mint xfce has a 2D desktop manager (is that the right term?) so   
   works brilliantly with RDP from a Windows machine once xrdp is installed.   
   I just have to remember to log out of the physical machine before trying   
   to log in from the remote machine. My main computers are in the study and   
   I tend to run then from a laptop while sitting on the settee in the lounge.   
      
   I was able to rip an mp4 using VLC but, as suggested, I need to research   
   that. True the picture was nearer Postit Note size than postage stamp size   
   but I haven't spoken French since I sat my my O level GCE 60 years ago!   
   Will work on that.   
      
   Brasero (with the needed support libraries) seems to do the trick. It   
   produces an unprotected iso that HandBrake can use to make an mkv file. I   
   will experiment to see if my QNAP can stream an iso directly, I know Plex   
   can't. Any suggestions appreciated.   
      
   Thanks again!

   I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day.   
   Tomorrow, isn't looking good either.
