What is this and how do I set it up? (blu-rays!)
jamesjones626:
you can use dvdfab to rip dvd's and then use handbrake to convert them. try xbmc, great prog to use on a htpc

If you like the look of that, check out Media Browser. I'm using that on my Windows 7 HTPC. Haven't got in to ripping blurays though. I'd need to probably stock up on a ton of storage and make a separate server machine. Depending on how you rip Blurays it would definitely fill up a hard drive fast (about 50gigs per movie, if ripping iso), but you can convert the file to make it smaller

I don't convert them. I don't see the point in reducing the resolution or quality. I rip the full thing into a folder. I may look at taking out things like warnings or bonus content, but for now all dvds and blu-rays are full rips.

if you do it right you wont lose resolution or quality.

I disagree. If you convert it to anything it has to loose quality. It's a lossy format, it has to loose quality. Whether or not it is noticeable to you is a different story. To me it isn't worth it plus having to deal with adding chapters in etc.
