DVD's to HDD...HELP!!! (1 Viewer)

[cam-tab]

Ok so I thought I knew how to do this and have done many a time on my old computers, but cant for the life of me get it to work on Media Portal.

I am using DVD Shrink..I copy the DVD onto the HDD into a folder with VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. Each DVD has a folder with the title and the relevant VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders.

How do I now get these to play in MP?..It just wants to load avi files even though I have select video extensions IFO and VOB in the setup.

I am totally lost..can someone please post a nice easy step by step on how to upload the DVD files (i want to keep the menu structure so AVI conversion is no good) and how to make MP play them. I then want the DVD covers to be viewable as well...I have searched everywhere and I just cant find instructions on how to make this work. All other posts refer to AVI files and ISO (whats ISO??..is this what I need to do?)

PLEASE help me....any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated...

Hi there and welcome

Please do not cross-post.

Are you using the database views or shares view?

In shares view, the dvd folder should just be put into one of the shares and it should work. You can put a picture called folder.jpg in the dvd folder containing the dvd cover.

In database views, the new folders must be scanned to include them in the database. Covers can be linked to the database file.

An ISO is an image file of the whole dvd. Can be mounted with daemon tools.

Hope That Helps
