dvd collection
i have also been thinking about doing this, i have found that depending on how you are planning to stream the media you have to format it different ways. if you are using a windows media extender (xbox360) the vob files have to be converted into 1 vob file, otherwise the movie will split into chunks and play that way also. i have also played around with compressing the movie down and havent noticed a difference in playback quality. the next thing i am trying is xbmc for windows, because that plays a vast array of different codecs. i want to see if i can use a different video compression codec to retain video quality but vastly reduce file size.
