RE: Networked NAS Drives for Serving DVDs?

["Ian Lowe" <ianlowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can't use that one - from the FAQ:

As a cross platform file server, FAT32 format is compatible with all major
operating systems (Windows/Mac OS/Linux). The only drawback of a FAT32
format is the single file size limitation of 4 gigabytes.

Pretty much all DVD ISO images will be more than 4Gb... Which is a shame,
as
that's one damn fine looking NAS device otherwise.

Subject: [ukha_d] Networked NAS Drives for Serving DVDs?

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone can advise on the suitability of network
(100mbs) NAS drives for serving up iso dvd images please?

Unfortunately my dvd multi-changer is giving up the ghost and am looking
for
an alternative solution...

I've found the following 300gb drive

http://www.allcam.biz/products/lan_drive.html

It claims to power off when not in use, and being networked i can add more
as i get around to ripping my dvd's

Was wondering what experience people on the list have of serving dvd iso's
(non-compressed) over a lan please?

Many thanks
Tony
