It shouldn't, why did it '****' was it the quality of the imagine or possibly from where you were sitting.
As far as ripping a DVD is 700MB so 700MB x 500 movies = 350GB very do able.

Ripping Blue Rays are 4.7GB each typically so 4.7GB x 500 movies = 2.3 Terabytes which means you would need to build a bigger system with more drives etc.

As for how long ripping takes I would make a thread in the lounge as I honestly don't know. I am sure others here will though and I think jer_stud may be familiar with ripping from DVD and BR.

How is a Blu-Ray 4.7GB? When they're actually on discs that are 30+GB.

8.5. I can wear 9's though so... nah.

you have some very small feet

This I did not know, I was just going by what I see when trying to download torrents. When I search for new releases typically the DVD rip is from 700-750MB and the BluRay is around 4.5-4.7GB. Must be 'shrunk' somehow I am guessing.

Yes, it is compressed. It's like MP3 for audio. It won't be as good as the original uncompressed format. What is the point of downloading a high def movie if you are getting it in a shitty compressed format?

yeah I don't think you're getting the full HD out of those rips. I know the HD uncompressed sound is 15GB itself.

I thought windows media center is an operating system.
What is the time difference between 2x, 4x, and 6x. Blu Ray rip at 45-60 min @ what "x"?

I have no need to copy the discs, just put the movie from the disc to the computer. I think I am using the jargon incorrectly, thus causing confusion.

I will get Vista through DoD discount.

So I need larger HD? If BluRay = 30GB/movie; 500 GB isn't going to last long. I do not wish to compress them. I think I will have to do 2 hard drives.

@4X rip you get an average of 45-60 minutes. 6x rip will obviously be faster. Also even though they are rated ofr 2x, 4x, 6x or whatevver. That is a peak rating. Not real world average. Many variables, like driver, bandwidth, software can play a role in lowering the average read or write rates. 4x should only take 30 minutes when you do the math using the peak of 144Mbs, but in real world you get 45 minutes to an hour. As the technology develops speeds increase and averaghes do as well.

Media center is sold as an operating system. It is a standard windows OS back end with a media application front end. Media Center 05 is based on XP

You will want Windows Vista Ultimate which has the newest version of Media Center on it. It is better and more robust imo than 05.

You have the jargon right which is why I only recomended a ROM and not a burner. Ripping is just putting the media on the hdd.

If you wish to save media and play it in an uncompressed format I highly suggesst spending the most on HDD and a RAID setup. I would honestly go with 3 1 TB drives in a RAID5 and a 4th 1TB drive in the closet for when the uneventful crash of one of the drives happens. A RAID 5 make parity information distributed across the drives in a manner that when one drive completely crashes beyond hope, you insert a new drive(same size, model) and it rebuilds the entire array, so you don't lose all that hard work.

It is what servers use. I run a raid5 at home using 4x 500GB HDDs and 5th in the closet and i am not even ripping blu ray and I am starting to run out of room, because of just music and regular DVD rips along with TV show recordings.

Of course you would have to use a tower instead of a nice HTPC case for aesthetics, but i would hate to see you put time and effort into media archiving only to lose it all with an HDD crash.

I have a network server in my home for archiving and an HTPC that is networked and can access the server to play the media.

I also have a 1tb external I use to back up and transport a lot of media. I am very anal about making sure i don't lose what I have stored.

I ain't reading that crap. When I need a media center, you'll just build it for me.

But I will say that you HAD a network server in your home.
