VOBs in VIDEO_TS

Post by Stresspuppy » Sat Mar 14, 2009 2:39 am

I have ripped all of my DVDs to a shared drive to stream to my Home Theater system. I was looking to see if Twonky could also see/understand these. I know it can play VOBs, but if all I get in the database is "VIDEO_01.VOB" and such, won't help much.

Is there a way for Twonky to know that everything in one folder is a single movie and to play them in order?

Might be more than Twonky is setup to do, but thought I would ask.

Better to rip them as a single VOB. On Windows, DVD Decrypyter can do this. It also allows you to rip just the main movie...

I'm on a Mac and I already have my entire library of 200+ DVDs ripped (using MacTheRipper) so re-ripping would be a pain. But there may be a way to convert what I have into a single file. Either way will require some work, but sounds like if I want to use Twonky for this it's my only option.

Thanks.
