Playing ripped DVDs in Vista Media Center

Now I can rip a DVD to a VIDEO_TS folder and watch it from within Vista Media Center. Nice.

Really short instructions for the impatient (but I strongly suggest reading the complete instructions):

Open Registry Editor (Start, Run, REGEDIT) and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\DvdSettings

Double-click the key ShowGallery and change the value from “Play” to “Gallery”.
