I think jlb is also asking for some kind of uniform declaration of the specifics of the file package, I think that is a great idea and we are not that far away on most of the torrents.

Typical data of interest - is it all one file, or is it really a collection of files. Sometimes we can tell from the drop-down box, sometimes we can't. A simple read-me file (like timbuck2 always included) would help, alternatively a direct declaration by the torrent maker of what it is they are presenting can only help (see Rocketman's servings for example). Either way, what the file is and directly or indirectly, how to use that file on receipt should be part of what we make clear.

BB, first let me echo the appreciation that others have expressed for the work you are putting into making media available. I know it is a time-consuming activity. Still, if you will allow me - just a couple of points. No-one should claim that .VRO files will play on TV, well, not on any TV. It all depends upon the hardware. Assuming the recipient of the file is able to get around the file format and size issues and burn a DVD of some type, the file (and thus the disc) itself may not be recognized by a standard DVD-Player.
Secondly, you can take this to the bank, Nero will recognize .VOB files, they are the default type of media file for a DVD.

I am all for the standardization of our Torrents. If Rocket wants to set the parameters I am all for it.
there are a lot of free converters on line that will do whatever anyone needs to get a dvd they can watch on tv. That is the type I want for myself anyway.
And thank you for your help Sandgk .
