Hi,
I'm new to XBMC and was wondering if it's possible to add movies I have on DVD or BluRay to the media library, so that I can browse all my movies in XBMC. I know that I can't play BluRays or HD-DVDs directly with XBMC (or any other open source media center) - but at least having them in the library would be sufficient to me.
Second question is about at least limited BluRay and HD-DVD support: Does anybody know of a plugin/script that allows to launch a external app (like PowerDVD) for watching HD media. Or is there some sort of hook or API where I can register a custom script that is triggered after a DVD/BluRay is inserted into the drive? Same would of course be needed for automounted ISOs then. I'm no professional coder/developer, but if nothing like that is present right now I'd be willing to digg into Python and code it myself. I just need some help to get started with it.
Thanks a bunch.

@admin or whoever did it:
thanks for moving my post.
For me, fake-files are no option as well as fake-videos are no option. Those are by far to time intensive to handle and are not userfriendly at all. It's sad that there doesn't seem to be a offline-index feature.
