About 6 or so months ago I posted a question regarding playing movies ripped to TS_VIDEO folders on a Mac. At that time there was little available that would allow you to do this. I found a program yesterday that works really well at allow you to access folders containing movies in this format and playing them on your Mac via the suppled DVD Player. I am able to connect to my drives on a windows box and have full access to all of the movies there. As a side note the Mac connects and plays them flawlessly via wifi. This is something I was NEVER able to accomplish between two windows boxes. The playback was allows stuttering, even when I experimented and placed the two transmitter right next to each other. With the Macbook I can carry it to any room in the house will watching a movie without a hitch, Sweet!! Here's a link to movie changer if anyone wishes to try it.

Interesting find. The interface leaves something to be desired, but if it works it works.

Thanks Bruno!
I've played with both of these now and actually it seems like Movie Changer works best for me. You can categorize your movies by genre and name. All in all it works well. I think it's time to replace the window tower I am using with a nice compact shiny mini!
