TV Show scraping, RegExp help? - ekim232 - 2009-06-10

I have recently been coverting some tv season dvd's into iso's.

I name the files 01x02x03x04.iso and I have found that when scraped with tvdb I only get episode 1.

I have tried a few regexp and none seem to be working. If someone knows of one that works with this file naming structure or a similiar one I would greatly appreciate it.

As far as I know, ISO and video_ts folders don't work very well in TV Shows.
The TV Shows works well with individual files (each episode is its own video file)

Post 7 explains why this is happening.

My intial thought was to break the dvd down into idividual iso files since I do prefer each episode have its own file. I can't seem to get any good software that will break a tv show dvd into individual epsiodes easily.

I have found this post which seems as though this guys got it working with a similiar naming convention, but I don't fully understand the regexp he used in the end.

If anyone has any suggestions of a good program or how to fix the regexp properly please let me know!
