Seconded.  Compressing the movies is definately the way to go.

i'm ok with giving up 5 gigs for a movie, and i've heard of programs that can trim the fat from dvd's too, although i can't find them again.

it's just so hard to search and get meaningful information, can anyone recommend a good forum site for all this?  cause i can search for info, i just have to narrow down my search from the whole internet.

DVD Shrink will let you get rid of special features, menus, and commentary/additional languages

I'll second Xbox Media Center.  I'm hooked.  Set up a server and stream away.
