John_Doe 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi guys, I am just looking for some help getting my folder rips of HD-DVD's to show up in MB3. Everything worked great under MB2.X. As it stands within my Movie collection all of my HD-DVD rips don't show up at all. Currently MB3 automatically marks all of the HD-DVD movies as a "Folder" instead of a "Movie". I have tried editing the folder type through the web browser and via note pad first to "Movie" and then "HD-DVD" with no success with either. Now I realise that HD-DVD is a dead format and that this may not be relevant to many but it would still be nice to play back all of my HD-DVD's without having to mess around with a keyboard and mouse instead of controlling everything via remote. Any ideas on how, if at all possible, to get this working again would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a long dead format. If you can convert them to something that is recognized, then you can put "HDDVD" in the Source Type field and CoverArt will give them an HD-DVD cover.

John_Doe 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks swhitmore. It look like my only real option is rip all of my HD-DVD's again as ISO. Not a big drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara123 1 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi, if you want to play the ISO file, you can download a virtual drive to your computer. Or you can rip the dvd again with another program, it can directly rip and convert it to normal formats which can be recogized by most players. Here is the link for you: drm-assistant.com/dvdtips/rip-dvds-to-ipad-4th-generation.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14925 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I suggest ripping them from your current folder structure to a file format. You will get much better functionality out of them from MB. I recently did this with a few I had. Used MakeMKV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitmore 781 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I highly recommend Freemake Video Converter if you are planning on recoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
