Help with a HTPC and video files
Hello
I have been trying to setup a htpc capable of streaming my movie collection through a xbox360 to my HD Tv using windows media center and media browser. My problem is with the format of the files used for this process. I have been using anydvd and Clone DVD to copy the movie files to my Hdd in .Vob format. I then join the vob files and change the extention of the file to mpg. This works fine sometimes. It copies the movie at the same quality as the original source. The problem is that about 50% of the time the movie will just stop in the middle of playback or even have parts missing. I think that this has to do with the joining of the vob files but I can't put my finger on it. I have tried xilisoft DVD ripper platinum but the video quality is just not the same. I just want to make 1:1 copies of my movies. Btw file size is not an issue. I have 2 2tb hdds. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
