I've ripped the majority of my DVD collection to my media center PC and have used dvdxml.com to grab most of the xml info to go with each of them.

The problem is, a lot of my DVDs have more than one disk for special features, etc.  But there's only one dvdxml file.  This results in the name for each disk being exactly the same when viewed in Media Center even though the folder names are named distinctly.

For example, I have two folders for the two DVDs that come with Pirates of the Carribean, Curse of the Black Pearl.  I've named the feature folder with the suffix "Disk 1" and the special features folder has the suffix "Disk 2".  But, in Media Center, neither suffix shows and you just have to guess which one is which.  As I said, the same holds true for quite a few of my DVDs.

Is there a way to control the way the name of each DVD displays in Media Center?

Are there any other methods to get your ripped DVD collection to show up in Media Center that offers more features/customization than the default dvd library?

Thanks!!!

You can edit the DVDID in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\eHome\DVDInfoCache

I prefer DVD Library Collection Manager, it will allow you to edit those XML files in DVDInfoCache with a UI and information from amazon and IMDB.

Yeah, can you give a link to that?  I did a google search but only came up with software for cataloging a physical DVD collection.

EDIT:
Scratch that...I think I found it.  Is this it?

Thanks!!!

That's it.

Yep.  ATM it looks like IMDB.com changed something and the application might need an update.
