Hi Every one,
Am new here have downloaded xbmc and been reading and trying it for a couple of months now as I dont like the limits of some of the commercial media servers I have used in the past.
Okay I have some questions.
I have about 1800 DVD that have been placed into a wardrobe and I am sick and tired of having to pull all the dvd in the front out to get to the ones in the back. I used cimmercial media player and had backed all the dvd's up to mkv format but I find there is video loss and audio volume is always very low in the copies so I have to have my receiver on 98 and still struggle to hear every thing that goes on.
I have used many conversion programs including eac3to, AVSVideo Cinverter and others but there is always a problem with either the video or audio. One movie that I have major issues with that comes to mind is independence days. I am finding that a mkv setup as 100% qualit comes up almost 1.5 times larger then the dvd and as I said there is issues with either autio to low or video flaring.
So what I have decided to do is re do my dvd but this time use clonedvd and just do a 1 for 1 copy of the dvd onto the hard drive and just stream it to the tvs and mobile devices in the house (Viera TV, IPADS, PS3 and laptops) I picked 1 dvd (Toy Story 3) and ripped it into a directory and set up xbmc to have the video in its library. When I go to the viera tv and connect to the xbmc server and select the movie it says unsupported format. I deleted and tried to do this as an iso and have the same issue. What am I doing wrong ??
Any help would be appreciated as I am getting to old to bend down and pull all the dvds out of the cabimet to watch a movie:
Thanks in advance.
