TMT3 + Windows 64-bit + DVD/BD folders = fail?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I just completed a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit and the latest TMT 3 Platinum with hopes of playing my ripped Blu-Rays stored on my server without the need of converting them into ISO files (like the work-around for PowerDVD). But when I click the Select Source and navigate to my Blu-Ray folders the "OK" button is greyed out and you can't click it! So I tried a regular DVD folder and I get the same thing... OK button greyed out. PowerDVD 9 can see and play these DVD folders fine....why not TMT 3? They are just straight rips from DVD to Folder using DVD Decryptor and AnyDVD HD - same directory layout as the original DVDs and Blu-rays.

If I select Play Media File instead and navigate to a single VOB file it plays it fine so there is no problem there.

Anyone know what's going on here? I'd hate to be out $100!!

Thanks!

	this functionality works for me. I'm using RTM Windows 7 64-bit and TMT 3 that comes bundled with Xonar audio card. Not sure what might be going on.

	neurot - are your DVD/Blu-Ray folders stored locally on the computer where you gave your OS? Mine are stored all on a media server and I am wondering if that is the issue? Maybe TMT3 won't play DVD folders over a network connection? but I don't think that is the case since PowerDVD 9 will do this.

	TMT requires you to have the requisite folder structure from the disc, otherwise it won't let you choose the folder. Network access via mapped drive and share works fine over there. DVD's require the content to be in a "VIDEO_TS" folder Blu-Ray requires the content to be in a "BDMV" folder For example: X:\Media\Movies\Die Hard\VIDEO_TS <files go here> Then when you pick "Die Hard" in the UI, the OK button will enable. Let us know if that did the trick or not :) edit: should have read your original post closer. You already have this set up, huh? Then I'm stumped as well. Sorry man.

	If the disc plays, but the folder does not, then there is some difference between the disc and the folder structure that is preventing TMT from playing it. (Please don't respond that the rips are fine and work in other software. I don't disput that, but whether they work elsewhere or not is irrelevent to solving the problem. The point is that they are different in some way. Other users have confirmed that switching ripping tools resolves the issue. You can find other threads discussing it.)
