Problem with DVD isos

darkie · 2008-10-10, 23:26

Everythings goes well, TVseries finds my isos, I find them in the list ... I can even select them and start playing them.
The problem is that TVSeries seems to play DVD's differently. He starts them but he just plays through the menu, plays the first episode and then stops (and there is also no sound or subtitles). Navigating the dvd menu is also impossible ...

I use ffdshow to scale up my dvd's and I enabled the OSD option. When I play the dvd through my videos, everythings works just fine and the OSD tells me some stuff like output resolution.

But when TVSeries start the same iso, I don't get the OSD so something is telling me dat TVSeries launches another dvd player?

Is anyone familiar with this problem?

Been testing a few things:
when I select a DVD serie, the ISO isn't loaded with daemon tools so I guess MP is playing it as a movie and not a DVD

Still nobody with a good solution without ripping the dvd's to DiVX?

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but if you rip a DVD to your hard drive as a set of files instead of an iso (so you have a video_ts folder with a bunch of VOB files in it) you can just change the extension of the VOBs to MPG and then you'll have each episode as its own file.

I have the same problem with DVD iso files. My series in xvid works without a problem.
The solution with unpacking the iso and rename in mpg is not feasible for me, it is a lot of manual work.

Is there any solution in sight?
