I don't have any xvid + Ac3 to try it myself.Guess I will have to see if I can create a file like this
I"m going to look for the reg hack.
Ok I see where you're coming from now.
i think this is the vista registry change -

change the value from play to gallery, after making sure you've given yourselv sufficient privilege to save registry changes. then tell VMC to monitor the folder where you store DVDs. don't bother organising them into subfolders because it will display the entire collection all at once.
no matter how you structure your subfolders.

Registry key - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\DvdSettings
Registry value - ShowGallery
Registry value data type - REG_SZ
Registry value data - Gallery = enable My DVDs; Play = do not enable My DVDs

if you then want to add cover art, see my related threads or just google dvd cover grabber.
