When you say players can handle chapter information are you talking about players on your computer? I am thinking about getting the Western Digital media player or Asus O!Play and streaming to this. (like the apple TV but cheaper) 2. Do you think the graphical interface of handbrake is inferior to the script? Thanks again, handbrake and all of the links you sugested have worked great. 1.

This is an established standard. About DVD menus, although MP4 and MKV specifications include this, I have never see an application that helps users builds these menus and add them to files. Nor any file that contains interactive menus, thus I never had the chance to see how players handle that. I use to rip each title on a DVD (the movie, extras, making of etc) to separate files containing chapter information. I'm good with that. @Dusty, most decent players can handle chapter information embedded on MP4 and MKV files. This is an established standard.

I have a ton of TV show DVDs with multiple episodes on a disc. I like the idea of having the DVD menu on a file. How do you do that. ***But most importantly will an HD Media Player (any) understand the chapter encoding? ie can I skip forward chapters on my box to watch on TV?

Just what my colleagues and I needed to read after our very heated argument on what was the best formats (which was mostly uninformed babble). ps - liked the media center write-up also. FYI - You should check out SageTV if you want a great pvr (good media center) which runs on linux. peace Thanks for the write-up.

The DVD which I have does not contain any file in the AUDIO_TS folder. I got this downloaded from the net in an ISO format, which is an image of the original DVD. I am using PowerISO/MagicISO programs to load the image. I have ripped the files using DVD decryptor. But since it does not have any file in AUDIO_TS folder it fails to convert it to avi format stating 'AUDIO file not present in AUDIO_TS folder'..It may not be the right place to write this issue...But in case any suggestion can be provided, that will very helpful...
