Very glad > to get rid of the VCR and shelf full of tapes, though. So tell me again why you lock up your movie bits on spinning discs but not your music bits ;) (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Seriously though, getting a PC hooked up to my TV and putting all my DVD:s on hard disk has been a great solution for me (although I wouldn't recommend it to anybody not comfortable dealing with computer problems). Not as big a revelation as when I got my SqueezeBox for music, but pretty close. For the interested I have a couple of entries on my blog: in August last year I 'tried out playing ripped DVD:s' (http://niklasmorberg.blogspot.com/2007/08/playing-ripped-dvds-in-vista-media.html) and in January this year moved on to 'stop playing DVD:s' (http://niklasmorberg.blogspot.com/2008/01/time-to-stop-using-dvds.html). Of course, it's 'never that easy' (http://niklasmorberg.blogspot.com/2008/02/problem-with-external-usb-drive-and.html). -- morberg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ morberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8757 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50035 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
