Hello,
in PowerDVD 11 you can open DVD or BD Disc Structures from HDD in the BD/DVD Module by using the "open Disc from HDD" option

Hi pdwul,

As Cyberlink Michael pointed out, Power DVD 11 has the ability to play movies from your hard disc drive....I tested to see if dragging the VIDEO_TS folder to the PD Desktop also was an option and it worked as well.

Just for the records, I am using PD10 Ultra now.

When I select a VIDEO_TS folder and drag and HOLD it on top of the PD desktop icon (nót release it!)
I'll get +Open with PDVDLaunchPolicy Application.

This, I mean:
-




After releasing PD will launch for sure. After the intro it stops at the (most annoying) Movielife promotional
screen. It will not continue there.
I need to click on the "Video"-tab in the middle a the top the screen, to get rid of it.

However, PD explorer is then showing the path to a totally different movie, not the one I selected.

From that point on I need to browse (lots of clicks/double clicks) to get to the movie I want.
Scrolling is far from convenient: it either goes to fast and jumps to a point in the tree list that has passed the point where I wanted, or I shd very slowly scroll).

PD is really very fine, but their "Explorer" is -well eh.. - a bit 'poor' from *my* point of view.

Thís is what I am hoping for that would improve.

I have also tried to drag-drop an .IFO-file, but it doesnot get me the menu of the movie, that I will get when
playing the VIDEO_TS folder.

later..:
found out (Google: "powerdvd associate video_ts") that others also 'complained' about this.

"No Subtitle @ PowerDVD 10 Ultra Mark II 3D (Build.2113)"

when creating a desktop icon of Media Player Classic Home Cina, it will play the movie when
dragging the VIDEO_TS on to it, plus subtitles/menu. This program is free of charge.
Guess PD shd at least be able to do the same.
