Description

/ Need ability to play any title inside a VIDEO_TS folder.
If a DVD is ripped for playing from the harddrive, it would be nice if I could watch the movie, even when it is not stored as title 1...

Playing directly from the DVD works fine ("Open Location" and then "DVD://x"), but when the DVD is ripped I have not found a way to do that.

This line works if I run mplayer (MplayerExt 13) from the Terminal:
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /Users/roger/Desktop/Horse1h50/VIDEO_TS -speed 0,96 -slang sv

I found no way to enter this in Mplayer Extended app...

DVD support is only progressing slowly and stays rather sketchy.

You can supply the dvd device through MPE as well, using the following syntax:
dvd://1//Volumes/path/to/VIDEO_TS

Great! Thanks!
I have no problem with selecting the DVD-title manually and it now works great also in VIDEO_TS folders!
I have watched well over a hundred feature films from DVD-disc and all but 2-3 played fine with MPE, after fiddling the title number. So I think it works quite well and doing the same thing from a VIDEO_TS folder seems to work fine too. :)

It would be great to have a manual title selection (1-10) in the "Open VIDEO_TS" and maybe "Open location" (A button for DVDtitle with a choice 1-10). It would be far easier to implement than DVD-menues and also it is many times faster to get a film going than all the selection and warnings.

Think about it:
1: "Open VIDEO_TS"
2: Button for selecting title (1-10, default 1)
3: select VIDEO_TS-folder.
---and---
1: "Open Location"
2: Selecting a DVD title number from a drop down list fills in DVD://x into the textarea
(Open Location works as before, if not selecting from the DVD-title-list).

I will be very convenient to use. Why make it hard, when you can make it easy. :)
