The files not found occurs when I am inside VIDEO_TS, within the "watch a
video" section of freevo. The permissions are the same here as they are
when I move the VOB files to the top level directory, so I don't think it
is a permissions problem.

However when I get home this evening I will copy the raw files onto the
linux box to ensure that any network related problems are eliminated.

I am still confused as to the best way to play these archived dvd's and
how to have cover art displayed for each DVD? Is the intended freevo
behaviour to see a directory full of VOB's and play them like a dvd?

I am hoping for a setup that looks like this dvd screen shot:

which is from this article:

http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/01/27/freevo.html

Any help in achieving this would be very welcome.
