The PS3 Media Server (called PMS from now on) can play straight iso's.

I had a hard time pulling the trigger on a HTPC/media tank/media streamer, but so far I have no regrets about the PS3.

Also again, I was reading the forum for DVDfab. You probably figured this out already, but there's no BLU-RAY to AVI (or file) option yet. But, it's on the 'to do list'. But, it will convert them to DVD I believe which can then be converted to file. Obvious quality loss, but, the convenience factor...

Hmm. Still playing with DVDFab. Seems like if I choose DVD--->Portable option, I can choose am .avi format, and then I have quite a few more quality options. I just made a rip with every option maxed... it made a 1.5 GB file, but it seems to be DVD quality like I wanted, and it plays on my PS3/PS3-...

1. Take Buffy Season 2 off your wish list. 2. BSG is done, and there is currently a massive BD box set for sale, but I heard the individual seasons for BD will be going on sale within a few months. I would really wait for BD to keep you from having to double dip. 3. Yes, I watched all of BN season ...

Ok, new question: It looks like with this program it is easy to rip the DVDs into AUDIO_TS and a VIDEO_TS folders... I've seen that lots as part of the ripping process... I just don't know what to do with them at that point. The folders I made of this one episode are almost 2gb big, which is weird ...

I put in one of my Buffy the Vampire Slayer disks to see how it does pulling out a single episode. This program scanned it. "This disk contains CSS protection, this version of DVDFab cannot copy it." Not really impressed, this is an old disk. Because it is the demo version? How the hell d...

DVDFab HD Decrypter - simple ripper that's always updated to handle copy protection by disc corruption mechanisms. It's not free. But, you said you're willing to pay. But, it's free for a little while. So, if you just get to it and rip them all, then, you're set. Each PC you load it on will of cour...

Federal and global policy is being set on the basis that human activity is changing the climate for the worse. Al Gore and his ilk are making millions and billions on the basis that human activity is changing the climate for the worse, but people can buy their way out of guilt with "carbon cre...

Now that you mention it, I haven't heard a thing out of it. My chair is about 12 feet from it.

So far I am pretty pleased with this. Granted, what I wanted is a little non-standard, and I already had all of the network architecture (and home theater... setup took, literally, 30 seconds) in place.

1. Catt: I am playing .264 files in .mkv containers. On my old server the PS3 Media Server can't play them straight without jittering, but can transcode them keeping the buffer about 92% full, but it plays flawlessly on the TV. This seems backwards to me, but there it is. 2. On top of Netflix, I al...
