Just a little quick tip.

In Vista MC, you still see a standard folder for your ripped DVD.  The same as in XP MC.  If you want to have the DVD cover instead which is nice when browsing through your DVD collection, you can solve this easy.

Scan (or search the net) for your DVD cover, put the image in your folder and rename it to "folder.jpg".  If you now go to the "DVD Library" you will see that all your DVD titles now contains the cover image for browsing.
