The medallion calls you have to remember that the BR disc

The medallion calls you have to remember that the BR disc just isnt 1 whole movie. it has extras, subtiles and everything else that goes with it! i would also know how to concert/compress with VH. : i would also know how to concert/compress with VH. : VH can in most circumstances deal with MPEG-2, H. 264 video and AC3 movies. It cannot handle any movie in VC-1 or DTS. If either of these are used, you have to transcode them to a format that VH can handle first. These apps are only available on the Windows side. Handbrake is still a work in progress for BR disc support, but its getting there. I hope it makes it to True-HD and DTS-HD transcoding to AC Not sure if itll ever get VC-1 support, though. Either way, it will not have decrypting abilities, so until something like AnyDVD HD arrives for OS X, it has to be done on Windows. Rip BD with AnyDVD HD my trial has expired, so I dont do this anymore not at the cost of the app. Drop into VH or open in HB svn for the transcode. Leave video at 1080p and drop the bit rate down to 10 mbps. Preserve AC3 passthrough. These the medallion calls very well in Plex and Xbmc, and even VLC. Quicktime has some issues the medallion calls them, though. mmmn I wouldnt mind going off to college with a new iMac with a blu-ray drive next year. Supporting a Blu-Ray drive doesnt necessarily mean we will be able to watch Blu-Ray movies on it. Just supporting the media would be a big jump for them. DVDs are too small for long term storage. External HDDs while not as portable are great back up options because you can load them up and store them easily. I never look forward to doing backups to DvD, my iTunes collection eats over ten of the things now and it takes forever.
