Yep, I meant encoding. I have a bunch of BD and HD-DVD titles and my kids want them ala jukebox style in either the EGreat, NOvatron or the Acer X3200 unit that I got which also has a built-in HDMI.
For PC player, right now I am just using KMPlayer. I wanted to reconfigure it with Windows Media Center though it only comes with licensed Vista Home for now...
Bro, the following link is my "bible" for HD DVD ripping and converting to mkv. "Bible" meaning I've read and understood it well (or so I thought), but in real life, it's certainly not that convenient to do especially with the time constraints.
The ripping part is quite straightforward and fast using AnyDVD HD. The conversion part is the headache (or could be the fun part depending on your outlook). Can be done but DL is much more convenient especially for simultaneous acquisition.
I havent tried a BD yet because I don't have BD, but it appears to me that BD conversion is even more complicated than that of of HD DVD. Good luck anyways and have fun.

BTW Bro, any playback problems with some of the 1080ps using your gadgets? Since I came back to Tokyo, I spent some time "actually watching" and set aside some very problematic 1080ps. Even my C2D powered PC gumagapang sa bigat somewhere along the 2-hour playback.
So what I have been doing is replacing those titles with ones that play well (720p nga lang). For instance, that great 10-part WW2 classic about the 101st Airborne, I have gotten the 45GB "smooth" version because the 50GB+ version that you have is so bloody heavy on my systems. Pati si Arnold sa Mars, kinuhaan ko na ng watchable version. Still in the process of finding smooth versions of Keanu extracting hydrogen from water and recently, that movie about a highly placed CIA mole.
If your NMT(s) can play all those 1080ps well, then that would be the biggest advantage of an NMT over a PC. Would really appreciate if you could share your experience with the 1080ps Bro - kung may problem I'll find the alternatives here. Thanks
