[QUOTE="gajit, post: 543827, member: 100104"] i rip the main movie to VOB, not the hole DVD. this was primarily because PS3 doesn't support the DVD folder structure or ISO format. In fact, I don't believe many other media servers do. My main goal was flexibilty. Mediaportal may have a great interface, but by using some of the other pieces of software out there - such as Orb - I can access my collection online from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, and play a movie. I currently use my PS3 as my media front end when watching movies in the theatre room. my idea was to use mediaportal as the front end for PC's that i want to act as mediaportal clients in other rooms of the house - by creating netork shares ti the media server and that's essentially what i'm doing here. i've installed all of this on my notebook - as a test. now i've identified that i can playback - i can install on the first 'client pc' that i have :) But you are correct, I would like to have used .ISO images and mounted them, but few media servers handle them well ...
