1153198	2010-11-15 22:41:00	How do I import DVD’s (own home movies – not copy protected) onto my HDD so that can play in Windows Media Center? W7 Pro. Thanks	stuffed (1469)
1153199	2010-11-15 22:45:00	Copy the files to the hdd / to a folder then play it?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1153200	2010-11-16 00:52:00	Thanks Speedy but it does not appear to be that easy!! Have copied a DVD to a folder but WMC can’t find it. How do you suggest you copy a DVD to a HDD Folder? Thanks	stuffed (1469)
1153201	2010-11-16 00:56:00	Do you mean from a disc, or movie format from a camcorder?	kahawai chaser (3545)

1153204	2010-11-16 02:32:00	or autogk, bit old but will convert to an Xvid avi that will play. Still handbrake does that too....	dugimodo (138)
1153205	2010-11-18 00:37:00	Quite simply I don’t believe at this stage it is possible to store and play (using chapters) non protected DVD’s on a PC?! Or if it is possible – it is @#$% difficult……….WHY? If someone can prove me wrong – will be delighted!	stuffed (1469)
1153206	2010-11-18 02:13:00	There are many "pay" programmes out there that will allow you to do that. Just cough up the dosh :) :)	Zippity (58)

From there, you want to set up a library for Movies -- follow the onscreen instructions. From the example above, select the folder "DVD" to add. Once you have added the folder(s) you wish, any DVD's you add within it/them will show up in the Movies library in WMC. Remember to store them on the hard disk in structure "<movie name>\VIDEO_TS" (the same structure as the DVD itself	Sherman (9181)
