I bought one of these and equipped it with a 40Gb hard disk. Its basically a hard disk media player that plugs in to a normal television. It can play all sorts of media types, DVDs, .jpgs, mp3s, etc. I’ve not had much of a play yet, but it seems pretty good, and its quiet, the only moving part being the hard disk itself, which being a new laptop disk isn’t noisy…maybe it’ll get worse as it gets older, but then I’ll just have to buy another, won’t I?
So, I wondered if anyone out there has any ideas what the best way of turning a dvd vob-set into a simple mpeg stream? (preferably mpeg4) The box handles vobsets but its a bit quirky and I’m sure they could be made smaller by reencoding.
