Hi,
I use slysoft anydvd to rip my Blu-rays to the hard disk and then use a Media Center plug in called MCME (from http://www.lightningware.co.uk) that then allows me to mount them and automaitcally play them in Media Center using PowerDVD 9 and Virtual Clone Drive. All very seamless and all in MCE. Also works for DVD ISOs as well.

Cheers,
Gaz

hi there i currently use mikes guide which works ok but having 2 screens (one in another room) power dvd only opens on the main pc screen i have to drag it to the bigger screen.

does total media theatre play hd dvd discs ? By this i mean a hd dvd player connected to the pc (xbox 360 drive) will media theatre play the disc in media centre or do these files always have to be backed up to the pc ?

thanks

Macka
