Help with Media Centre.

[mc6701]

Hi All,

Hope somebody can help......

I am looking to build myself a HTPC and have been playing around with copying my DVD collection on to my hard drive...........but media centre doesn't show my films????

I have used Magic DVD ripper to copy just the film to my HD and i get the normal vob/ifo files.........how do i get media centre to display it in my video's??

What i want it to do is display the film and when i click on it the thing plays the film.

If i convert it to a AVI file it does what i want it to do but i loose picture quality and 5.1 sound.

Is there something else that i can use to copy a film to my HD that WMC will work with and still give me dvd quality pic/audio(5.1).

Thanks

Another handy thing...recommend using DVD Library Manager to edit DVD info, very easy to use. It gets the cover, synopsis, year etc
