Of Film Libraries

Just because I've got everything back to normal after a rebuild, and I can't be arsed to figure everything out again. This is for my own reference really:

Programs:
Vista Media Center
Sharkey007 Vista Codec Pack (h264 decoding)
PowerDVD8
AnyDVDHD
Virtual CloneDrive
BDInfo
TsmuxeRgui

VMC plugins:
MediaBrowser

DVDs are ripped through AnyDVDHD and stored on the Spinpoint in their original VIDEO_TS strutcture and played back through MediaBrowser. Blu-rays are first analysed by BDInfo to find the files strung together by the playlist, then remuxed with tsMuxeR into a new BD structure. Then using imgburn that file structure is turned into an ISO and dropped into a folder under /films/. MediaBrowser then fires Virtual CloneDrive, mounts the ISO which causes PowerDVD to autoplay the "disc."
