I just put together my first HTPC and was using WMC and while it works ok, I wanted something more. I stumbled upon this site from AVS Forums. Anyway....after reading raving reviews both here and there I decided I'd give it a shot.
I'm in the process of Ripping my DVD collection (around 300 movies) and I was wondering if I was going about it the right way. Currently I'm using DVDFab and converting to VOB format. It works, however it lacks fast forwarding, chapter skip, and WMC doesn't reconize the length of the file (the number of minutes on the slider). So am I ripping to a wrong format for the features I want? I have around 2T of space, but I think I'll be adding another 2TB since Blurays take up alot of space.
So my question is, what format allows me to have chapter skip, fast forward, and the abilty to see where in the movie I am. I'm not a fan of compression, since these are already not Hi-def and want to keep the best quality I can get. Also I saw that MP can show the movie details, rating, etc. I would like the full functionality of this as well.
