[QUOTE="homerpez, post: 147687, member: 50131"] I guess my whole point is, even this isn't intuitive... It basically makes it so no other program can EASILY play the DVD folder off the hard drive again, since I'd now have a bunch of .iso files instead, just to make Mediaportal happy. PowerDVD 7.3 seems to play any and all HD-DVD and DVD folders, just as they are ripped, right from the hard drive. I just wish that Mediaportal could do the same, only graphically "nicer" than PowerDVD does it. Of course Media Center can also do this graphically already, but only with "regular" DVD folders, and every day I'm more interested in making HD work than "low-def" DVD's. :P Back story: (part of why I'm so interested is, Nvidia still hasn't fixed overscan issues with HDMI, so menus on PowerDVD are cropped off... in Media portal and Media Center, they aren't). Just seems simple enough to allow you to rip DVD's, HD-DVD's etc to the hard drive in a standard way, and then open them with a click. No screwy conversions, just having Mediaportal be another program choice to use (and hopefully a better one than the rest. [/QUOTE]
