Using what I learned from your mag, I built a small home theater PC. Everything is good, except when I want to watch a movie I have ripped (I use SlySoft AnyDVD). I don’t know how to get the movie to run in one piece. I have to play the movie in sections. I have Nero 7 and PowerDVD but it happens the same way with either.<br /></em><br /> <br /> <div align="right"><strong>—Denny Morris<br /></strong></div> <div align="right"> </div> <div> </div> <div>Provided you ripped the movie correctly, all you have to do is select the correct source. In PowerDVD, open the video_ts.ifo file, which should let you play the whole movie straight through, or skip between chapters, even turn subtitles on, just like a physical DVD. We also recommend the VLC player (<a href="http://www.videolan.org.vlc/" target="_blank">http://www.videolan.org.vlc/</a>), a free media player which has no trouble playing ripped DVDs (just point it at the containing folder).
