Twonky and Ripped DVDs

Post by wyld_sider » Mon May 02, 2011 11:58 pm

I have most of my DVDs ripped as DVDs, a series of VOB files.

While twonky will play these as individual files, I am interested if there is a way to get twonky to play these as DVDs, as me and my kids really like the extra features, and really don't want to do without them.

This should work fine, although I prefer to rip my DVDs as a single MPEG-2 file. Just my preference however.

Is the problem that TS isn't working with your VOB files or that it won't let you watch the extras?

Well, the problem is that when it scans the file system, it recurses into the disc folder, finds the VIDEO_TS, and then finds all of the VOB and other files in that directory. After it has finished scanning, all I can see is the VOB files, and nothing sorted by disc.

I'll pass on your comments. In the meantime, you might want to look into software that joins all of your VOBs as a single file. I think that would be one possible work around.
