I have a number of 500GB hard drives (as of now 21 and counting) with my DVDs ripped to them. Is there any way I can use LoadDVD to play a DVD from the drive. Now I use the location field to ID the hard drive volume name.

I'm not sure what the problem is. It shouldn't matter how the drives are attached, thanks to the operating system. What is it that doesn't work? Take a look at the LoadDVD thread. There are several techniques discussed there for playing DVDs. None of them are dependent on whether the drive is internally or externally attached. A drive letter is a drive letter. After that, if you still have problems, come on over to that thread, and describe more precisely exactly what you are doing and what is not working. I will not be able to diagnose the situation with generalities - I need to know exactly what you've typed into each field, and the contents of your script, if any.

Thanks mediadogg. I didnt see the LoadDVD thread (stupid me). I havent downloaded LoadDVD yet because I wanted to be sure it would it work for me. I didnt mean to say LoadDVD was broken, just looking for info. I will find the LoadDVD thread and then post my questions there if I have any.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Great. Now before you go off and start coding a bunch of stuff, play around with some ideas - there are several ways to do things in LoadDVD. When you think you have a scheme, share it with us in the LoadDVD thread, and we'll give advice.
