[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 171049, member: 22671"] Well you could use the folder hierarchy for that sort of thing which is what I use, so you set the OriginalTitle fields thus:- OriginalTitle fields like this:- Movie.LOR.01.The Fellowship of the Ring 01 Movie.LOR.01.The Fellowship of the Ring 02 Movie.LOR.02.The Two Towers Movie.LOR.03.Return Of The King (note I'm using . as the seperator setup in MyFilms setup not the default \) Then when viewed when you select the fellowship entry you will be shown the 2 entries (1 per disk). if you hit select you will be taken to the main info window, and in there you can use fwd/back to flick between the 2 entries and play whichever one you want. By having 2 entries you can have different info for the description field, but by using the folder hierachy they are nicely grouped together The other way you mention, using a single entry with the 2 ifo files ; seperated should work. I've not tried it. This would bring up the 2 disk icons when you hit play allowing you to select which one you want. You say however that this doesn't work, maybe something has been broken or maybe it never did work for DVD ifo's. I could understand that it might not as MyFilms uses a playlist for multiple entries passed off to the MP video playback engine that maybe doesn't support multiple DVD's? Personally I use the folder hierarchy for this sort of thing as all my stuff is offline on DVDR's so being on 2 seperate disks necessitates having 2 entries. If you wanted slightly different covers or different info etc then you'd need 2 entries so this is my preferred route. [/QUOTE]
