Thanks for the help, I'm going to check into it and see what I come up with. I think that my method of backup is actually fairly common (DVD Shrink is probably the most common backup tool available). I have tried per episode and I find two things:

1. Backing up to avi diminishes quality
2. It's a pain in the...to figure out where one episode begins and what ends because they don't match .vob's to episode numbers, this turns it into an almost guessing game -- someone has told me that there is software available that will do it for me, but I'm happy with k9copy so, I think the quality of the backup is great and I also like the dvd menus and what not when I want to play something using VLC.

Forgot to mention also that they aren't .iso's, they are just folders, DVDShrink and DVD Decrypter, K9Copy, etc... just basically move the vob's to folders and somehow compress them down to about 4 gigs (or less). Between those three programs I think that there are a ton of people who have this type of setup

Lastly, I have to make an nfo file for each show? Is this normal? I'm still not getting why my foo.401.avi didn't get detected, unless it is necessary to do a .nfo file in each location. Thanks again, really appreciate the help (I have spent hours trying to solve this so I'm definitely trying to pull my own weight )
