It's not that my way is better than yours, so I apologize if you got that impression. Basically, if you want to use the latest version of PowerDVD which is becoming more necessary with profile 1.1, then ISOs are the way to go. Also, the newest version of MyMovies relies on using ISO for high definition media. I think he added back in the choice to use the folders, but is encouraging everyone to use ISO as opposed to playing from folder.
Correct me if I am wrong, so instead of I used AnyDVD "copy movie to hard drive" function from AnyDVD, from ISO to .tms, you are using img burn copy the ISO to HDD and using latest PDVD and/or MyMovies to play the ISO moun/unmount from daemon tools?
