Is the dvdid.xml file only for Windows Media Center?

Hi Everyone,

I have Windows Xp Pro , and the latest version of DVD Fab Platinum : Mobile Option. I just recently noticed the check box for the dvdid.xml file . The settings say it is for Windows Media Center , which I'm assuming is on Vista . However , the on line tutorial says....."The file allows other applications to automatically find cover art and other information about the title on the INTERNET. "

What "other applications " is being refereed to ? Could I for instance , burn the file to a blank DVD with Nero , and play the DVD in WMP 11 and pull down cover art info from the INTERNET ?
Thanks .

The file is for movie cataloging programs like My Movies or Collectorz, etc. My Movies does some nice things in Media Center.

there are several 3rd party dvd cataloguing utilities, which will go online & get cover art for you. there was a thread here a long time ago.
