RE: Five out of the Six household machines updated with Leopard !

Sounds cool ... What's the Front Row UI like for playing network
stored ripped DVDs?

Do you see references to paths, network locations and folders or is it all
handled 'nicely'?

Can you get proper coverart, plot summaries, actor and director lists?

Subject: [ukha_d] Five out of the Six household machines updated with
Leopard !

Five out of the Six machines updated with Leopard finished this
afternoon a mixture of Intel and PPC G4 + G5

No serious issues found thus far  . . . .     Two approaches to this
backup then erase and install

Selectively returning the files etc.. either manually or using the
migration assistant

Seems to have better CPU and memory managment but just to be sure all
of the machines had been upgraded to 1.5GB+

Frontrow plays back ripped DVD's ! ! !    Yep a ripped / de-regioned
etc..  video_ts folder plays back using the DVD player . . . . . .
but will not play back a single .vob file.

I have upgraded the codec with Perian but will have a play in the
coming days.

The nice bits are the networking really is totally nailed, basically
the LAN resources are shown and the client tries to use a Guest
account to access read only shares.

As for number six well maybe just maybe I will get to it next weekend.
