Hello all,

I really stumbled onto this site ( and I'm glad I did) searching for ideas on how I can put together a system to download my dvd collection into a 1 terabyte HD and view them from my home theater system.

I know I at least have to have special software to do this and if so what would you recommend and is there a way this can be done through a usb/video audio cable via the HD.

I am missing something somewhere...

All I want to do is have my dvd collection stored in the HD and have the option of playing back any movie and still have the same picture and sound quality as if I were viewing the original disc.

This is an awesome site and I'm gald I got to registered last nite.

Thanks for your time and any input would be greatly appreciated.

Lonnie

I've been using DVDFab HD Decrypter for several years and recently upgraded to the paid version for more features. The basic (free) program will rip the entire disk or just the main movie with no problems with encryption. It's a great program with lots of options....and it's free! Can't beat that price!

America can always be counted on to do the right thing....after exhausting all other possibilities.

How much are you willing to do yourself ??

you will NEVER see a comerical product to do what you want .. at least not out of the USA .. mpaa would never allow it. What would prevent you from just renting a movie and having the "video juke box" storing it. and then never have to BUY another movie ever again. 

There was a company that tried this a few years back. I read about it and even offered to invest and buy a "pre-production" unit to help them. But they got sued into oblievion for even thinking about it. 

Mythtv is what I use for this setup. Not as simple as a comerical product .. but it WILL do what you want. you can have it rip and store your movie .. and then play it back.
