 Currently MythVideo only looks for files with a set suffix to determine
 playback attributes (such as the player used). These in include .vob .mpg
 .avi and others.

 I would suggest adding the scanning of directories to determine if these
 are direct copies of DVDs. For example, of the directory "foo" contains
 the directories "AUDIO_TS" and "VIDEO_TS", then it is most likely a DVD
 backup. If added to the list of videos, then it could be played back with
 "xine --no-splash dvd:/%s/".

 At the moment, hacking the database directly seems to be the only way of
 enabling this bit of functionality.
