Hi, thanks for trying to help
I have just scanned them in - but does not recognize them on the IMDB database (I have only labeled it as test for now) - My .avi file played before I scanned it so don't think that is the problem.
It's got to be the way I have it configured to play .ifo files -
Do you play .ifo ripped DVD files/folders by chance?
Maybe it is some codecs or something I am missing???
yes, I am using straight rips. I am using anydvd-hd. Do you have some type of backup software that removes encryption from your rips? You need that or you will only be able to play them in pdvd.
I have a bunch of family home movies, that I made into dvd's and ripped on the hard drive. They do not match any movies, but I entered a title for them and a description then saved in the editor. They play just fine. It's just a setting you've missed somewhere.
