hmm, interesting, i'll try it out ... wasn't sure, because a number of
programs seem to require both VOB and IFO files ...

hmm, i didn't know that :) ... can't recall, does xine support DTS
passthrough or just DD? DD works great for me, i'm just curious :)

Xine does support DTS passthrough because I have done it before with the Predator Special Edition. I saved the ISO file and it was over 4.7 GBs without compression. I just hate to compress. When I started watching in XINE, I right click and bring up the menu and choose a different audio track and it worked. Keep in mind that compressing the whole DVD isn't the best choice as sometimes you get 50% compression. I did that with O Brother, Where Art Thou? and it looks pretty bad. You can see the pixelation on screen and it gets annoying. That would be one of those movies I would make into an uncompressed ISO and drop on my backend. Good luck!
