Is it possible to add movies included on double/triple feature DVDs? I buy a lot of my movies from Walmart cause of their awesome deals. I was asking because I tried before and since both movies were on the same disc it would only let me add one if that makes sense? Surprised this hasn't been brought up before. At least I turned up 0 results :( Please let me know! If it's not possible please consider this for a future release :)

    Is each movie seperate at IFO level on the DVD, or are they super compressed and each movie is just a VOB based chapter?

    Run a MediaInfo GUI application scan on the DVD and get the advanced text results from it. If the structure it gives back in any way shows a way to seperate the movies then MovingPictures can be modified to support that. But there has to be something unique about each movie for it to work at auto level. Either individual IFOs or a header structure that MediaInfo can read.

    Otherwise from a technical point of view it looks like a longer version of a single movie and then there is not much that can be done about it.

    Hello there! Thanks for replying. On one of my DVDs it contains 5 movies (it's an old vampire collections from the 20's to like 70's 4 discs) it looks like they may be chapters though it's hard to tell. I used mediainfo gui. I wouldn't even mind being able to use the same disc id for different movies and then just select the movie from the DVD menu.

    Anyone else know of a way to do this? Basically I just want it to add the movie. It don't have to load the correct ifo from the disc I can choose the movie from the disc menu. If that makes sense?
