I am not 100% positive, but I believe that the 0 file is the DVD menu, which will not play on the extenders.
Have you tried getting rid of the 0 file and just play the 1, 2, 3, etc files?

I have edited the .WVX file (playlist) to both include and exclude the the \VTS_01_0.VOB file, and both result in the Xbox extender (and Vista Media Center) going directly to 'FINISHED' message.
I currently have a few other movies that are available for viewing, and they work great. The only (visible) difference is the leading file in the .VOB-set. I seem to recall an issues with another 'ripping' program that I used in the past - in which I would know right away (if I was watching the progress log) that if the first .VOB file it was grabbing had an odd size - the 'rip' would fail. Not sure what to to to get around this.
dlawson12:Wait.... the media center goes strait to finished? It should be reading it as a normal DVD, maybe your rip is bad.... And you shouldnt have 0 included, I have the same type of files and just excluded the 0 file
I went thru and re-ripped the movie, and re-created the hardlinks, as well as the .WVX file.
This time around, I did not create a hardlink for the VTS_01_0.VOb - and that seems to have corrected the problem.
Prior to reading your post - I had edited the .WVX to exclude VTS_01_0 file - but there was still a link..so I think that may have been screwing up the works.
Thanks for you feedback.
