I guess it wouldn't have to be an .ISO, but I am hoping for some way to get my DVDs to my television with the same ease I get my CDs to my stereo. A digital jukebox with simple interface is the end goal. <br><br>I currently use PS3 Media Server to stream to my PS3, and it handles ISO files, but simply gives me a directory structure. I want to select a file and get to the DVD menu. It's a messy bunch of "title01" type files that way, and I assume that it would be equally messy in a directory structure. <br>
<br>If the RPi isn't the best option here, I can change my thinking to another device. I have other uses I can re-purpose the RPi to do, but with it's excellent graphics capabilities, I was thinking it'd be ideal. I just figured it'd work out of the box since XBMC on my Win7 machine works without any configuring (I just installed it now to check).<br clear="all">

</div>Does it have to be stored in an .iso? Perhaps dvdbackup would help. It<br>
simply copies the DVD (with its file structure) to your drive. The VOBs<br>
are fairly straightforward to extract later.<br>
