Re: Re: Networked NAS Drives for Serving DVDs?

[Mal Lansell <mal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tony,

I've been using MediaPortal on my HTPC, which can play DVDs (with menus)
from a network share exactly as they are written out by DVDDecrypter
(i.e a set of vobs and and ifo file) so no need to create an iso.  I've
also been playing around with MP4 - you keep the surround sound and
chapters with that, and a 2hr movie generally takes around 2Gb at a
decent quality (my post a few months ago about Nero recode being crap
can be ignored - I think I must have had the settings wrong).

Regards

Mal
