Title: Idea for managing Physical Disc from MC / Theater View like movie files
Post by: jmone on August 10, 2009, 05:52:22 pm

There are a number of Video Taging options now on this board that will display coverart, meta data etc in MC...all very cool.  However, I was toying with the idea of how to present my Physical discs as part of TheaterView (I have '00s) as I do not want to rip them all to my HDD.

I've attached a Short WMV file (not very good, sorry I'm no graphic artist) of a pic of a disc + title of saying "Please Insert Disc" as per the screenshot.  Copy / Rename this file with the Movie title, Tag / Coverart / Import into MC using your fav method and repeat.  This way you will have MC managing both your ripped and physcial disc collection from one spot with a shot clip asking users to "Insert the Disc" if they choose one not on the PC.

I'm sure there are other ideas
I'm sure that someone can create a more professional "insert disc" clip!

Thanks
Nathan

I've simplified the process a bit:
1) Copy the InsertDisc.WMV file to central location that MC can play from
2) Create a Shortcut to the InsertDisc.WMV file for each Disc you want to tag (eg Gattaga.lnk)
3) Tag the Gattaga.lnk (I use MovieSeriesInfo)
