I am a newb building a HTPC and want to store my many concert DVDs on it. Now the tough part (and the questions)

* How do I create a queue of individual songs (chapters) from multiple DVDs stored on the HTPC???
* And use a remote 20" touch screen (tethered to HTPC) to drag and drop the files into a queue??
* And possibly be able to create/replay favorite lists--poker night list, wine party list, beer party list, kids party list, random play,...?

hey fellow minnesotian....

to answer your question, I think what you can do is get a DVD player like Theatertek or Zoom Player and write a custom XML file to parse your dvd's and set it up to be a trailer of sorts. That would be one way of doing it.

Can't help you with the touchscreen option, maybe check out MainLobby/DVD Lobby see if there is something in there you can use for a chapters play list.

Other than that you can take bits and peices of each dvd and make your own.
