SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC
I understand that MPEG4 encoding now works well as a colleague has managed
to convert a DVD film to MPEG4 format and then store on his hard disk - he
reckons a 2 hour film takes up about 700MB of Hard disk space - and the
quality is near-DVD.
So if u can pipe the output from your PC to a TV in your house and control
the PC from that room (infra red mouse and keyboard) you can set yourself
up
with a DVD jukebox - this is possible in theory - I am VERY new to HA and
so
dont have a clue if this is possible in practice - anyone tried it ?
With the cost of Hard disks around £2.10 per megabyte - cost of storing 1
MPEG4 movie is around £1.80 - not bad folks ?
Cheers
Umar
