I noticed when tinkering with the video stuff that you can not set the player to xine and have it play a "dvdbackup" of a dvd - only the types "vob", "mpg" (and avi?) are supported (in other words, direct files). Is anyone planning on extending things a bit so that plain directories (with a sub directory of VIDEO_TS) are playable ? Then we could use xine with dvd backups.

Not sure this needs coding. You could backup your DVD's to iso files and
play those in xine (just add .iso as extention in mythvideo, search the
archives, has been covered 10 times the last 3 months)
If you absolutely want to keep the complete folder DVD structure on your
harddisk you could place them outside your video folder and create
mydvdname.dvd symlinks to the folders and make a custom playbackscript
(also covered in the the archives)
If you realy like the dvd folders in your myth video folder you'll have
to do some coding.
