Hello All,
I recently ripped our 'kid's movie' collection to my network server. Eventually I will transcode these to something smaller - but right now I am using them as DVD rips.
On both my XBOX and HTPC machine, the time to start playing a VIDEO_TS.ifo file is quite long(more so on the XBOX, which is what my son uses). This is with hard-wired connections. HOWEVER if I select the VOB it starts very quickly.
I did a search, and it sounds like this is to do with the .ifo file reading in all the vobs in parallel.
Since all these movies are ripped as 'main movie only' there is unlikely to be any branching within the DVD structure.
Is there another 'playlist' format that I can replace the video_ts.ifo files with, that will just instruct XBMC to play the vobs sequentially? I would want this playlist to be stored with the movies, not local to the xbmc install. And if I can use a playlist how do I get the library mode to play the playlist instead of the video_ts.ifo file?
Thanks,
xnappo
