Steve, I'm having a similar problem. I'm using preMovieManager. I need te beable to send "Z:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO" to pMM. Is there a way to stop xlobby from sending "z:/" Maybe a check box that turn on/off the "z:" command.

My quick solution to the problem was to put

"C:\Program Files\preMovie Manager\preMovie.exe" "Z:\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO"

in a batch file and point xlobby to the file but it's not it's not as clean as I want becasue the command window opens. Thansk for your help.

Steve,

Thanks for the file, but I can't launch a movie at all this way. Seems that without the z: drive assigned to a particular folder, windvd doesn't know where to look for the movie.

I'm more comfortable making a single edit on the command line - seems more straight forward to me. I'd just add a note in your instructions for windvd setup with xlobby.

As for your previous question, no, it's not a properly formatted dvd file. In dvdecriptor, you can save a dvd as one continuous vob/mpg file. You don't get menus or any extra features. You select the streams you want and strip out the rest. File space savings are considerable - about 1gb for a movie file taking out alternate soundtracks, features, etc. Ends up playing like a VCR tape. Problem if you are going to use xlobby, you need to decide if you are going to go this route with all your files, or save as a dvd folder with all the vobs, etc. - No mixing and matching types.

I'm trying to do the same thing as Mheadroom. I would like to use Xlobby to activate Premovie manager but cannot find a way to "pass" the path to the movie. Has anyone come up with a way to do this? BTW: Iam using Theater Tek.

Thanks,
Ed

Sorry if this should be obvious, but where can I find these instructions for setting up windvd? I would just like to click on a movie in the movie menu, or press play and have it launch windvd playing the movie.

WinDVD Command Line

Postby y2kdeuce on Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:03 am

%playlist% does not work in the winDVD command line. Use %file% and the movie will play like "autoplay" does in your DVD player.
