Tutorial: How to stream DVDs and DVD ISOs to your devices

[Paul]

Mezzmo can stream your ripped DVDs and DVD ISO images directly to your devices.

A ripped DVD typically has a folder structure like:

\AUDIO_TS
\VIDEO_TS

\VIDEO_TS.IFO
\VTS_01_0.IFO
\VTS_01_0.VOB
\VTS_01_1.VOB
\VTS_01_2.VOB
\VTS_01_3.VOB
\VTS_01_4.VOB
\VTS_02_0.BUP
\VTS_02_0.IFO
\VTS_02_0.VOB
\VTS_02_1.VOB
etc.

Mezzmo reads this DVD folder structure and assembles the various VOB format videos as gapless multi-file videos, which are added into your Mezzmo library.

Mezzmo can also read DVD ISO files and access the DVD files within the ISO image file.

Subtitles: See this tutorial for streaming external subtitles with your ripped DVDs and DVD ISOs - http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...3140#post23140

Note: If your DVD or Blu-ray has videos with a short duration (less than 15 minutes), then, by default, Mezzmo will ignore these short duration video titles. To fix this, see this FAQ - http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...-Blu-rays-ISOs

Note: Mezzmo does not read DVDs directly from your DVD drive. You must rip your DVD using DVD ripping software tools.

When you add folders or scan your folders into Mezzmo, Mezzmo will automatically find your ripped DVDs and DVD ISO images. Mezzmo will read the DVD information and create a gapless multi-file video for each video that it finds on the DVD. These videos are added into Mezzmo just like any other video file.

The metadata for the DVD videos such as title, description, genre, year, artwork, etc. will be based on the folder name and ISO image file name of the DVD. Based on your folder and file naming convention that you use, Mezzmo will attempt to get online metadata from web sites such as TheMovieDB and TheTVDB.

Your DVD videos are listed like any other video in Mezzmo. You can right-click on the video in Mezzmo and click Properties to display the Properties dialog. This lets you edit the text metadata and artwork assigned to the DVD video.

Tip: You can edit the gapless multi-file information for the DVD video using the Gapless Multi-File tab on Properties dialog.
