An AppleScript to play DVDs from the hard drive
Jan 06, '06 06:08:00AM • Contributed by: SimonDorfman.com
I've ripped the DVDs I play often (mostly yoga DVDs) to my hard drive (using MacTheRipper) so I don't have to dig around for the actual DVDs every day. I wanted a quick way to open these ripped discs with DVD Player, so I hacked together a simple AppleScript to do the job. This was adopted from a script found in the comments to this hint.

Folder Action
There's a folder action for this over at MacScripter: How do I launch DVD Player by clicking on a folder?
Folder Action
Sure, but the nice thing about this is that it is an app that you can drop a ripped movie folder onto and it will play from the enclosed TS_VIDEO volder.

Matinee will look at a folder ful of VIDEO_TS and parse out the name and lt you pick the title and play it for you.

I save each of my Video_TS folders inside a named folders of each film
'~/Documents/mydvdrips' a Slight edit lets you choose from a list of films in this folder when you run the script

Convet to DivX?
I do the same thing, but I'm running out of space quick. Most movies are in the 3-6GB range. I can use Toast 7 to convert them to DivX at a size of about 1GB each, but I seem to lose 5.1 sound.
Convet to DivX?
XviD will let you keep the 5.1 soundtrack.

I just press "apple-O" or "File, Open DVD Media" in DVD Player and open the videoTS-folder. I don't see the point of this hint.
