Fantastic little program and just what I was looking for. (I built a media PC with XP Pro, found out I had no way to display my ripped DVD library!) Couple of suggestions: - Make it run a player of choice, rather than forcing VLC. (I even tried editing dvdrip.ini but to no avail.) - Make it use only folder.jpg to generate DVD covers... if there are multiple images in the folder (like there usually is), it makes for a very sloppy display when it picks whatever image it wants - Change background color from white! :( (My media PC is themed very slick and eye-pleasing, that white background just kinda ruins the effect!) Excellent work though... thanks a lot! Finally!

Also, support for .iso files would be appreciated, as well as subdirectories.

My tree is like:
..\DVD Rips
….\Show1
……\Show1 Season 1 Disc 1.iso
……\Show1 Season 1 Disc 2.iso
….\Show2
……\Show2 Season 1 Disc 1.iso
……\Show2 Season 1 Disc 2.iso

and so forth.

Right now, all I get is an
Unable to open “
from VLC (which plays the .iso files just fine.)

Thanks.

But the thing is, it uses VLC and that you can't have it installed anywhere else other than C:\Program Files\... something orother (VLC that is). I tried to get the source code but the file isn't on the server. Could someone please help cause I'd really like either to edit the source code or to have a feature that allows you to use other programs and have the programs installed anywhere (I was also looking for portability). And another thing, holding shift doesn't bring up the options, I had to edit the .ini which didn't change the install location of VLC... lol.</p> <p>Please get in touch with me.</p> <p>Ritty5.</p> Hey, I like the simplicity of the program and it’s exactly what i’m after.

Rip works awesome. I'm having some trouble with Play though. I pointed it to the wrong folder for my movies and now I can't get the config screen to come back.</p> I just downloaded DVD Rip and DVD play. Rip works awesome.
