Howdy Helios,

I tried Inker's suggestion above and it worked pretty well. I made a few changes to fine tune things and I think this offers a pretty flexible solution. To do this you will need the following proggies...

AviSynth
DGIndex (aka DGMPGDec)
VirtualDub

I know this seems complicated but DGIndex and VDub make this very easy and simple.

I will go through a sample using Sports Night - S1D2.

I ripped the DVD to my HDD and put in the path D:\DVD Rip\Sports Night - S1D2\VIDEO_TS\ which has the following files...

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB
VTS_01_5.VOB
VTS_01_6.VOB
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_0.VOB
VTS_02_1.VOB


I load VTS_01_01.VOB - VTS_01_06.VOB into DGIndex and create an index file making sure to check "Decode AC3 Track to WAV" under Audio -> Output Method. These VOBs contain episodes 17 to 23 and the index file I create will be the file referenced in my AviSynth file.

I will create a template .avs file as I will only be changing the trim points from one episode to the next. I name the file Sports Night S1D2.avs and it contains the following lines...

LoadPlugin("C:\your path to DGIndex\DGDecode.dll")
Video = mpeg2source("D:\DVD Rip\Sports Night - S1D2\VIDEO_TS\Sports Night - S1D2.d2v")
Audio = WavSource("D:\DVD Rip\Sports Night - S1D2\VIDEO_TS\Sports Night - S1D2.wav")
AudioDub(Video, Audio)
#trim(startframe,endframe)

This is now my template which I can load into VDub. I copy the .avs file to the directory where my other individual TV Eps are stored and rename it to Sports Night - 1x18 - The Sword of Orion.avs and it contains the following lines...

LoadPlugin("C:\your path to DGIndex\DGDecode.dll")
Video = mpeg2source("D:\DVD Rip\Sports Night - S1D2\VIDEO_TS\Sports Night - S1D2.d2v")
Audio = WavSource("D:\DVD Rip\Sports Night - S1D2\VIDEO_TS\Sports Night - S1D2.wav")
AudioDub(Video, Audio)
trim(30714,62925)

As you can see the only thing that has changed is the trim variable. Just copy the template again, rename, add the new trim values for the next episode and rinse and repeat.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Forgot about this thread but this parsing expression Regxp works perfectly

(?<series>[^\\$]*)\\Season (?<season>[0-9]{1,2})\\Episode (?<episode>[0-9]{1,2})(?:-(?<episode2>[0-9]{1,2}))?.*\\VIDEO_TS\\VIDEO_TS.IFO

File Structure is

TV Series\Season\Episode\Video_ts
TV Series\Season\Episode\audio_ts

Obvisouly you need to rip your DVD's with something like DVD Shrink to split the episodes up.
