DVD Central store

My little girl 3, has a mass of DVD's and she is now starting to want to change the DVD herself which means her sticky paws all around some expensive kit! It can be be a blag at times when she has had enough of each DVD after 10 minutes and we have to constantly change DVD's

My plan would be to use the XBox 360 via the media connect as the player and one of my servers as for the storage.

Storage and networking isn't an issue its just ripping the DVD's in a format that will work with the above and staying legal.

Looks like Im going to hell too!!

What do you use to put the DVD's on your MCE server?

DVD Shrink to a single VOB then use:-

to fix the VOB to MPEG2!


VOB2MPEG would probably do it as well:-

this is if you want to use the Xbox360 as an extender, the 360 will play single vob files but it can hang sometimes, no such problem if you convert them to MPEG2.

I don't mind converting them as long as nothing is lost due to compression.
