hi mikevets, thanks for the suggestion. I'm already aware of the registry hack to enable DVD Library under Vista. My question was if it was possible to play VIDEO_TS from Videos because it supports folder structure view while DVD Library does not. DVD Library just lumps all videos together at the same level and I have to sift through hundreds of my video collections just to get to a particular sub-category of videos I want to watch like "Home Videos" that we've captured using DVD camcorders, "Kid's Videos", "TV Series", "Movies"....etc.

Under Videos, each sub-category of video collections can be stored in separate Windows folders and also viewed as individual folders from the MCE gui. If I just wanted to watch "Home Videos" for example, I just select that folder and it will open up only my home video collection underneath it and nothing else. It is so much easier and faster to get to the exact sub-category of videos I want to watch this way.

MyMovies plugin does support Categories but I would have to manage every single video I add to my entire video collections. With MCE Videos, I just simply copy a new video to the appropriate folder and it is instantly visible and playable from Videos (except for VIDEO_TS). No other collection management is necessary.

Under MCE 2005, I can do exactly as I described above using MyVideos including playing back VIDEO_TS folders. I don't know how else to explain this clearer. Again, if this is simply impossible to do under Vista, I suppose I'll just stick with MCE 2005 but I'm still open to any other ideas.
