I have heard a few here talking about
copying their DVDs to media center to
create a library...

How can I do that !? That would be great
not to be required to change the DVD in
the player every time I want to watch a
random Family Guy Wink

Thanks

Mike

If the DVD is not copy protected, use Windows Explorer to create a target
directory then drag the contents of the DVD into it. The two main folders to
copy are VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. There may be other folders for cover art,
etc.

You can also use a program such as 1ClickDVD to strip the extras and
compress the files to save size.

If the DVD is copy protected, check out SlySoft.com for a program AnyDVD.
This runs in the background along with either of the above.

Once the DVD is copied, you can either include the folder holding all your
DVD's in My Videos or in My DVD's.

Hello,

I am expirience the same problem, watching ripped DVD's in MCE 2005 works
fine but in Vista they don't play in MC. The strange part is that they will
play in WMP 11 in Vista and putting the folders into the library give me all
the folders but not files???
and therefore they can't be played...

I am a true novice when it comes to computers but I want to purchase a
computer with mediacenter so I can create a movie library. The posts have
been very helpful but I am not sure what I need as far as storage
capabilities for movies transfered into mediacenter. I don't want to burn
them, just have them. Can I continually add more memory or whatever it is
that I need when needed. What should I ask for or look for when purchasing a
computer?
