DVDFab Virtual Drive 1.1.0.6 is out

[mikinho]

Vista played back the VIDEO_TS folders just had to change the registry and I used a simalar link to this link below to do that. The original link I used is no longer available

Now Windows 7 can open VIDEO_TS folder in media center with out any plug in just have to make sure it is set up to see the folder. I stream all my DVDFab rips to my Xbox 360 when I am too lazy to insert a DVD.

The registry key only enables the DVD Gallery on the local Media Center HTPC. Again, on extenders it not be visible until a transcoder dll is installed. This is true of Vista Media Center and W7 Media Center regardless of whether you are using a Xbox or Linksys as the extender.

If it is visible for you then you have the transcoder.dll installed (%SystemRoot%\ehome\Transcoder.dll)

Actually using my Xbox 360 as an extender I can play my VIDEO_TS folders using Media Center. I have been doing that for over 2 years now but to play ISO you need to use plugins

Even VIDEO_TS you need a transcoder plugin or a 3rd party browser. No extenders natively support VIDEO_TS playback. In Vista Media Center you could not playback VOB files, 7MC can via the Video Library but that has not be around for two years.

You either have a plug-in installed (Vader's transcoder or perhaps the symlink) and have forgotten or are mistaken.

He was asking for playback on extenders. No version of Media Center play VIDEO_TS or ISO on extenders without the use of plugins.

Btw, v1.6 of Mount Image was released. It is a little faster mounting using DVDFab and a couple other minor fixes.

If there is interest in localization please let me know.

how is this coming along ?

Note: I don't have Vista to test so please let me know if it works right!

Windows 7 does not really need it as it can already play from the VIDEO_TS folder just make sure you have media center set up to read from them

Yes it will play the entire movie.

I must be doing something wrong. I can play individual files but not the whole movie ??

It is W7 only. I can compile a Vista compatible version later today. I'll update when I do.

Yes. Install my Extender Dvd "Transcode". It isn't perfect but working on it, new version is being ALPHA tested this week.

Will this play the entire movie or will I have to play each vts_xx file individually?

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction, is there a way to change the file to a format that the extender will find in videos or movies and be able to play the entire movie without loss of quality?

Thanks,

Cool. I am running 64 bit version of vista.

Th application extender does not work on a Vista PC running Vista Media Center.

I get error saying cannot run with this version of media center or media center not found. Mine is 64 bit version of VMC.
