Looking for DVD Management software

[jhamma1]

Here is my circumstance.
I would like to rip my collection of DVDs to a blankc hard drive on my computer.
I already have DVD Cloner II.
I have ripped a couple and they work fine. Both movies ripped into separate folders and their associated .VOB files and .IFO files were placed into each folder.

I would like to find some software that will allow me to catalog and manage the DVD files so I can have a one click, one play solution.

NVDVD will not allow you to build a playlist using VOB files and neither will WMP 10.

WMP 10 will allow you to create a playlist if I create a shortcut to the IFO or first VOB file. The problem with WMP 10 is it will not read the aspect ratio correctly and I guess the NVDVD DVD Player Codec does not meld well with WMP 10 because I get frame skip issues when playing the files.

I'm doing this so I can feed the video over CAT 5 to my 50" HDTV in my living room from the office.

Thanks

I think you have to read the whole post warcrow

You either have a very small DVD collection or a very, very large file server.

I have (2) 500GIG Hard Drives.
Can PowerDVD play ISO files.
A Player which can play those would be best that way the file isn't split

I believe TheaterTek will do what you're asking.

PowerDVD can play DVD files from the hard drive but not as an ISO (unless they've added that recently). You could mount the ISOs (with daemon's tools) and then play with PowerDVD. I would just rip them in file mode if you want to use PowerDVD.

i like mediaportopl (http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/) and instead of vob/ifo using iso files instead. MEdiaportol creates a nice scrollthrough interface and can load/play iso files automatically wihtout having to mount or anything. Personally though i paid for FairUse and just convert all my DVD's to ~1GB avi files using xvid...works well enough on my machine
