Hi,

I have several hundred DVD's and BluRays in my XBMC library, but have recently started to experience problems with playing some newly ripped DVD ISOs. XBMC will either not play them at all or start playing but show no video or audio.

The most recent issue I have is with the Norwegian TV series Kaptein Sabeltann (https://www.sabeltannbutikk.no/?vis=visprodukt&pid=219). This is a five disc box set and I have ripped all discs to ISO images using AnyDVD. The first disc plays fine in XBMC, but the remaining discs either do not play, "plays" with no image or sound or crashes XBMC (hangs). I have tried 12.2, 12.3 and 13 alpha 11 all on Win7.

If I mount any of the ISO images with VirtualCloneDrive, VLC will play them without any issues.

I have tried reading the debug log but I cannot make sense of it. Here's an example log from a test on my main pc (not the HTPC) using 13 alpha 11: http://pastebin.com/NLwCdPBn

BTW, I have also tried ripping with DVDFab but those rips tend to not play at all in XBMC.

Any ideas how I can get these ISOs to play in XBMC?

To answer my own question: I resolved this by ripping the folder structure with AnyDVDHD (Rip VideoDVD to harddisk option) and creating the image with imgburn or dvdshrink. This created a playable ISO with only a minor defect: After starting the image I need to press next chapter to get to the menu. I can live with that...
