Which digital media player plays full ripped DVD's ?
Money not being an objective .... I am building a library of ripped DVDs - it's saved to the RN device in the standard DVD file structure, which is: NAMEOFMOVIE \NAMEOFMOVIE\ts_audio <<<-thi...
Thanks on the nudge for getting the ATV-1 to work with XBMC. I think it is working now with VOB's and ISO's.
The suggestion on running XBMC on my PC was helpful. It can even play one moving which VLC can't. It also, as you suggested, allowed be to see the XMBC supported DVD's but that something was probably wrong with the ATV.
I believe 2 things were wrong:
1) Previous versions of XBMC weren't as robust/reliable as 10.1. I noticed a big improvement in DVD playback when I tried recently vs. 6-12 months ago.
2) In the Apple TV settings, disable Dolby digital out. Prior to changing this, I had everything working but most DVD's wouldn't play audio.
For reference, the ATV-1 and my PC are both using wired ethernet: 100 Mbit for the ATV and 1 Gbit for the PC.
Now onto the Wii... I may need to try Orb or something similar if the raw DVD bitrate is problematic of 802.11g. It should theoretically be able to handle 10 Mb/s, but signal quality, interference, other clients, etc. could degrade the link.
