[QUOTE="homerpez, post: 147264, member: 50131"] No, Mediaportal so far only supports use of .iso disc images... that is, it makes one big file which emulates a whole DVD disc. The only way to use these is to load these files one-by-one into Daemon Tools (a disc emulator program) and then your machine will see the "disc" on a phony DVD drive on your system. You can see why this is painfully annoying in Mediaportal, since every time you want to watch a DVD from your hard drive, you'd have to load the phony disc image FIRST, then open up Mediaportal where you can see it as a disc. Media Center (once you hack a simple registry setting) will just look for DVD movies backed up within a directory on your hard drive, and let you simply click and watch. This is a must for people who want to deal with as few discs around as possible (I have kids too, I laughed when I read that, AaronG85) :D If/when Mediaportal enables this, AND HD movie support, I will be very, very excited. :o [/QUOTE]
