Yeah, I hate the Ferengi too, I don't know exactly what it is but I can't stand them. My favorite Star Trek is Voyager and when the crew got stranded in the Delta quadrant I thought I would be relieved from Ferengi. Well what do you know, those little bastards found their way even to the Delta quadrant through a wormhole. Good thing they were kicked back through the wormhole rather quickly .

Sucks.

Well, XP works like a charm for me. I'm sure you will like it. When I re-install XP I always make a lite version using nlite. That way I remove all the crap I don't need/want. With nlite you can also do stuff like turning system restore off, entering the key, creating an account, setting up the network etc. You can also integrate service packs, hotfixes and other updates. I end up with an windows setup ISO of about 160mb with a lot of settings already as I want them, saves a lot of time especially if you don't have to download and install all the updates the normal way. I love windows XP lite .


I think what you can do to speed up your re-installs is the next time you re-install windows and tweak it to your liking, do a complete back-up of it in it, then from that point on when you want to fresh install just install the back-up of your tweaked Windows XP Lite and you'll be going along quickly.


I use norton ghost to make a backup of a fresh windows install. Only takes a few minutes to restore.

Chapters not working in DVDLab
Time
I never had problems with chapters not working. I assume you first made chapterpoints in the movie and made scene selection menus automatically. Is it somehow possible the buttons are not linked to the chapterpoints? I mean if you play the movie and want to go to the next chapter using your remote it won't skip to the next chapter or is it just that the scene selection menus aren't working?

Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD?

On a slightly related topic, does anyone know what the disc layout of a Blu-ray or HD-DVD disc is like? I would assume that an HD-DVD disc has the same layout as a DVD, but what about a Blu-ray disc? Are they completely different or just the same layout (VIDEO and AUDIO_TS folders with VOBs within)?


Here you can find the file structures.
