Making a DVD library in Vista Media Centre
I posted yesterday about how to make a DVD library work in Vista Media Centre.
I followed Max's instructions, and it didn't work. I could not understand why. I had done everything he said - or I thought I had.
After reading through all the comments on his post I found this little trick on another website. When you add a folder for the DVD library you don't do it in the normal settings Library, add a watch folder area. Instead you go into the DVD library and right click anywhere in the screen and add the watch folder there. Bingo - it worked immediately.
Now I am busy re ripping my DVD collection as DVD format (not ISO) and the media centre picks them up as fast as they are pasted in.. The DVD's I only have as ISO's I can mount in Daemon Tools and then use the DVDFab HD Decryptor software to rip. Awesome!

what a nice methode

So i have the regedit
So i have the regedit instructions on this site - here they are:
The first thing you need to do is edit the Windows Vista registry so that Media Center displays a "gallery" view of your DVDs instead of just a "play DVD" button. To do this, run "regedit" and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\DvdSettings and change the "ShowGallery" value to "Gallery."
