movie server

[Raoul Watson]

I am planning on building a divx movie server. I am tired of hunting for
DVD's. I figured a couple of terrabytes should allow me to utilize a
reasonably acceptable resolution in the library.

If anyone got a movie server with some connection suggestion / way to
catalog and pull up the movies from the TV I greatly appreciate your input.
thanks!

One thing I have been looking at is FreeNAS. It's a Free BSD based
server software that supports Upnp. Put your movies on the server
and serve them up to a Sony Playstation.

Thank you so much for all who have been giving me suggestions. I will
definitely look at each one carefully. I am not as much in need to record
shows. My idea is to convert my DVD's and put them on the terra server. The
only issue I have is the mechanism allowing me to pull those movies onto my
HDTV with ability to do on screen selection. I guess I can have it play on
the computer screen and wire the computer output to the HDTV but I am not
sur ethat's the best way to do it..

Thanks again for all your suggestions.
