DVDFab is only for decrypting the DVD. Use Handbrake or Procoder to convert the VOBs.
n00B!
d'oh! Makes much more sense now. |

I've got a lot of info on the way. I've been doing a ton of tinkering with WMC addons and think I have a workable solution. More to come, sorry, but today is a total shit-show at work.

Here's a taste of what's to come: Forget the Boxee plugin (but definitely get the Hulu desktop one). Definitely get this: http://xbmcwmc.teknowebworks.com/ |

Yeah, I also figured out some ninja ways to get WMC to use better codecs. Let me get through some more of this bs at work and I'll share the love.

Are you streaming your media to the front end over wireless? What are you using for the front end? Did you get a Revo?

Front end is a box I threw together for about $400.
Gigabyte H55M-UD2H board
Intel Core i3 530
4gb Corsair XMS DDR3 (1333mhz)
Antec NSK2480 case
Tossed in a 500gig sata drive I had laying around, a DL dvd burner for to make 360 games, and a BR player for to rip Netflix disks. Testing so far has been done locally at work over USB and ethernet. Once everything is done and moved home, Drobo will be hosting everything to all computers in the house over ethernet.
Pics and more info to come. I promise. Work has been nightmarish this week.

Wow... not only does this article slam the Drobo for being slow, but it also gets a dig in on the Buckeyes. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/data_robotics_drobo |

Don't be ignant. "Saying the Drobo is slow is like saying dry ice is cold or that the Buckeyes are just another football team."
That is to say "Saying the Drobo is slow is an understatement, akin to saying dry ice is just cold instead of really fucking cold, or that the Buckeyes are just another normal football team instead of the legendary football program that they are."
Yes, the write speeds are slow. It's not for video editing. What it's for is high-capacity, set-it-and-forget-it, loss-protected, data storage. It isn't the 15k rpm SAS array I've got at work, but it works as a home media repository just fine.

About to go home and crash, but I thought I'd point you towards hack7mc.com for cool info on tweaking WMC and theme7mc.com for WMC themes. |

Troyer, what might you have used to rip your HD-DVD's? I plan on using my 360 hddvd drive to rip them on my htpc, but DVDFab appears to only handle BR disks.
