Hi all,
Probably the easiest thing to do is explain what I am trying to achieve,
then what I had done so far..
I am fed up with all the CD and DVD cases and the physical storage
required in my lounge. To this end I am putting together a media PC onto
which I intended to rip all my CD's as MP3's and all my DVD's as VOB's.
I want to be able to "rip" my DVD's onto a big hard disk, and then be
able to browse them on my freevo box, and watch the playback (movie only).
I have installed Freevo on my machine and it all seems to be working
fine, I have a remote control, I can play MP3's quite happily.
However the Video section is causing me problems.
I currently have the video's mounted over a samba mount, as the media
machines does not have that big a hard disk. The folder of the DVD
appears in the right place when I got to "watch a video", but when I
select it the freevo interface simply says "no files found".
If I move all the VOB's into the top level directory (still samba
mounted), then they all appear in the list, and I can play them one at a
time, but what I really want is a directory that I can also put a DVD
cover imagine into, and then I can browse through all my DVD's and just
hit play once to watch it.
The directory structure is currently:
D:\Movies>dir /s
Volume in drive D is New Volume
Volume Serial Number is 9C15-E1D1
Directory of D:\Movies
22/03/2006 23:07 <DIR> .
22/03/2006 23:07 <DIR> ..
23/03/2006 10:41 <DIR> ENEMY_OF_THE_STATE

Directory of D:\Movies\ENEMY_OF_THE_STATE

Any help on how I can archive my DVD's and turn my media PC into a video
jukebox would be appreciated. I am currently using DVD Decrypter to do
the ripping on Windows. However I am willing to look at any solutions to
this problem. If there is other software I should be using, or a
completely different technique then please let me know!
