myHTPC

I don't know if anyeone here uses this program but I just built a home theater pc and what i have done is put two 120GB drives in it. This way instead of having to take out disk and put them in and all that crap it would be like a tivo style list of all my movies then I just click ok on the one that I want to play. So basically I am going to put all of my DVD's onto my harddrives. However there is a problem. When I load a folder that has a ripped disk with the .vob files the program can't see it. yet it can see my encoded xvid and divx files. So I guess my deal is what would I need to do to copy a DVD down to a .avi format without loss of quality and maintain full functionality? Is that possible?
Thanks

It looks like this program has a pretty active forum. I even found a post by someone writing a tool that seems made for you:

MyHTPC is heavily modifiable...

And IIRC there is a way to modify the "show extensions" stuff somewhere !!!

Maybe its also possible to use a autorun file with "fake" AVI extension ???

Nah, I use PowerDVD with autoplay function to watch my movies direct from the DVD !!!


Bye

He's been working on the second version of it, its just about ready, Probably in another month or so there will be a public beta. Unforunately it wont be free anymore.
