I have several dvds that have multiple movies and would like to make nfos for them so they appear in the movies section. How can I do this?

As far as I know, this is not possible.
There is a workround. You can make 2 directories, one for each movie, and copy the dvd in both of them (so you have 2 copies of the dvd on your NAS, one in movie A, and the other in movie B).
Add-on :
Bluray iso utils Rewrite of BR_iso_enhancements
Add-on :
BR_iso_Enhancements Give theatrical & directors cut from the same bluray iso each their own library entry, use bluray iso's of tv shows as if they are already ripped.

Rather than wasting space with two copies, why not use a symlink?
Or better still use makemkv to rip the titles to separate mkv files. Much tidier.

Would be interesting how the authoring of those DVDs is done. Even if using symlinks and if the specific movies are listed correctly, it should be hard to start that specific movie if it's (for example) the 2nd movie on that DVD.

All it would do is start the DVD, you would then need to choose from the DVD menu.

That's what I'm talking about. It will start the DVD, If the first movie is "Avatar" and the 2nd movie is "Alien" then it will always either start the menu (if there is one) or it will start "Avatar" even if the movie chosen from the library is "Alien" as "Avatar" is the first movie on that DVD.
So multiple movies on a DVD ISO won't be the way I would handle my movies.

Is there a way to start, from an addon, the correct movie on a DVD?
With bluray, you can start the wanted mpls through: bluray://[udf://[path to iso]/]/BDMV/PLAYLIST/00000.mpls
I have tried some things, but found nothing usefull in the logs.
Does someone know a way to specify a video on a DVD?

Just rip them to separate files! Save yourself a whole lot of bother.

Yes I am unsure if you can tell Kodi to play a particular title. Would a bookmark work?

Maybe.
If there is a bookmark listitem, and Kodi starts the video on that bookmark (using xbmc.player.play()), then this could work. But I need to test.
