Hi all, I finally upgraded to the latest beta and have been fooling around with the vob transcoding (audio i guess). I was surprised to find my Athlon XP 2000 to handle this task. Anyway, I wanted to verify a few things and make sure I am doing things right. For my rips to show up I need to change the video_ts folder to just video. Is this normal? And then how do I get the cover art to show up? I do use DVD profiler for all my offline DVD's and did have it showing cover art when the rip wasn't on the PC. But once I imported the rip, it now just shows a folder instead of the cover art. Is there someplace I need to place the jpeg? and what to name it? I can just scroll into the folder and access each vob independently. Not a huge hassle and worth it. Any other alternatives to that though?
Thanks,
JUC

One more question...
My Athlon XP 2000 almost allows me to play divx. Its so close but stutters a little bit. Is there anyway to increase a buffer or something so it doesn't start playing until it already transcodes part of it?

okay, well i have to say the vob support is looking pretty good so far. I was able to get it setup so the vobs and the offline videos look identical in the My Videos Section. I just rip the main movie as one file. Put a folder.jpeg in the video folder and import it. I then have to edit the name of the .vob to what the movie title is and then IMDB will pick up on the title and get all the info (i'm assuming dvd profiler will pick up on it to)--save and you are all set. Its now seamless scrolling through my movies. If i happen to pick one that is offline-it nicely prompts me to insert the movie. If it is local-hit play and your all set. At first, i didn't like the way it was integrating the two because the offlines would show up nicely but the ones stored locally would have a folder showing. Once i changed the rips to one file it worked great.

Any thoughts on the Divx stuff i mentioned above?
Thanks
