its free and is a great plugin for MCE--frankly it makes MCE worth using imho.

Let's you put movies that are stored on a hard drive or on a dvd into it's database.

The huge selling point for me, was that it let you alternatively choose to play the DVD using TheaterTek instead of MCE, which allows you to run ffdshow which is not an option if you play a dvd through MCE natively.

Thanks for the info. Do the movies have to be full DVD's? How do you have them organized?

Root Folder
----Adaptation
------VIDEO_TS
------AUDIO_TS (or whatever)?

How does it figure out which DVD covers to put with each movie? Can't be by title because, for instance, there are multiple Independence Days.

I organize them, simply by Movie Name/Video_TS

When you go to add a movie, you select the Video_TS folder.

It stores the Covers in a separate folder, and you can select which one you choose. You can edit any of the information too, but it does an automaticl lookup based on the movie title. It's pretty slick.

Hehe yeah when I saw it I knew it was perfect for a sectional. Also the best part is that it is a lift top one..so if I'm eating or whatever it lifts up to my chest ;)

That is all.

Guilty as charged..but only the front and rear centers are on those little table things. The other 4 are on stands, just not clear on the pictures. That said, if I wanted to get 4 more speaker stands they'd cost as much as the speakers + receiver I bet you (low $200's is what I paid for the htib).
