Hi, is there a simpler way to launch hd dvd backup folders besides having to use the powerdvd interface to select folders? I have a semi windows media center pc setup where I launch a folder and select big icons to run video files from my harmony remote, so it's not really practical to load hd dvds from my couch this way.

I tried making a shortcut file in powerdvd by selecting all the files in the two main dvd folders, it actually loads including the menu image but you can not navigate the root menu at all with the mouse or keyboard.

At least with PDVD 6.5, if you execute the DISCID.DAT file in the ADV_OBJ folder, it launches PDVD and starts the movie: PDVD associates itself with this file type.

Well that starts the movie and loads the title menu, good thing to know, but it does not allow for navigating the menus with keyboard or mouse.
