[QUOTE="murkyl, post: 381259, member: 88654"] The NTFS sym links do work. Just be aware that the NTFS links are hard links, not soft links. This means they have to be on the same file system and cannot span disks. I personally have all my media sitting on a Linux SAMBA server which makes softlinks much easier. I keep all the ISOs of the DVD series in 1 directory structure and then I have a second directory structure which has 1 symlink per episode pointing to the same DVD. So something like: episode1.iso -> /other/path/dvd1.iso episode2.iso -> /other/path/dvd1.iso episode3.iso -> /other/path/dvd2.iso episode4.iso -> /other/path/dvd2.iso Unfortunately I don't get any media information such as run time or video dimensions since mediainfo.dll can't handle ISOs. Even if it could, it would be difficult for it to figure out which chapters represent that particular episode. Does anyone know of a metafile that can be used to represent the media information and point to the ISO at the same time? That would work fairly well right now. [/QUOTE]
