I have home movies burned to dvds via Sony reocorder. The files are VOB/IFO. I spent a weekend or so ripping the dvd (via Roxio 8) to MPEG2 files. I elected to have each chapter of the movie be a different file. The set of chapters is in a folder dedicated to that movie.
I just got the xbox 360 and I love the interface. My problem is that the 360 won't let me play the sequence of chapters as one movie. You have to play each file, one at a time. Dragging and dropping the VOB files to the hard drive won't work as these files aren't playable over the extender.
I want to maintain as much fast forwarding/chapter options as possible. If I re-rip to one movie file, I can only use the 30 second skip on the 360.
What are my options a)without having to re-rip all the home videos
b) if I do have to re-rip what is the best way?

Why not just play the DVD in the 360? The 360 does a decent job as a DVD player.

I want to be able to scroll through a list of videos and pick one of say 30. I can do this already for mp3 and jpeg and now I'm struggling to do this for vids. I'll keep the dvds as backup.

i do not think movies can be played of a external device!!! which sucks,
but has anyone tried a hard-drvie?
