[owen17]

anu po kaya magandang setup??

ang gusto ko po sana is to rip all my dvd sa HDD ko and watch sa tv ko without using the pc..
parang yung popcorn A100. then the device will be connected sa hdtv ko...

just to save space wala na kasi lalagyan ng dvd...

thanks pdvd!

western digital essential 1tb and western digital hd tv media player. ok yan combination

[thesaint]

Yup...Ok na ok na combo WDTV + WD mybook essential na 1 tera.
Kung DVD lang 480p...pwedeng pwede...
Mag HD ka....Laki ng diff ng PQ ng mga 720p / 1080p...

[checkyoulater]

it depends....

if you're backing up original DVD which i assume you are......the best way to go would be for any 1TB drive internal or external, and a PCH-a110 as your media player

suggestion kolang yan kasi plano ko din yan gawin sometime soon. 

Reason> the PCH reads ISO files/images taken from your DVD, allowing you to simulate playing the DVD itself, preserving all the extras/menus of the original DVDs.

...now if you just want to watch the movies and save as much space as possible while having excellent PQ with minimal features, i suggest ripping vids using h.264, then the container is up to you.  if you do decide to go this route the WDTV + 1TB is indeed the way to go

sir, am using any video converter pro and meron sya x264...is this the same as h.264?
if this is the same, what container would you suggest i use?

Do you guys catalogue/classify your movies in storage?  How?  thanks.

[xrampage]

Are you using software for your Video collection?

[av_phile1]

Nope, just using directories for 720p, 480p and 1080p.

I use Movie Collector to catalog my movies contained in (2) 1.5TB WD MyBook Hard drives.

[av_phile1]

Thanks guys for your responses.  I took stock of my HD movies and they're still manageable for now.  What I need is to start conserving my 500GB HDD by offloading some to blank DVDs.  Do you guys offload your downloaded movies onto a disk like a blank DVD9?  I have many MKV files that can fit into one.  And if you play directly from a disk, are they fast enough?  TIA

Tinamad akong gawin eto after a short while.  Ang bagal kase ng burning to DVD-R and whenever I needed to copy files stored in DVD-R back to an HDD, super bagal din ng process.   No problem ang playback speed.

[av_phile1]

I was afraid of that. Transferring an 8 GB file from one drive to another is also slow but I can imagine how slower that would be to a DVD9.  If I had no patience burning blank CDs in the past, I don't think I'd be on DVD9.  I guess the only option is to get a second internal SATA drive or an external 1TB or 1.5TB drive.

Where can I get the player for my external hard drive?

[joelsoldao]

Marami po sa marketplace sa video source section ata.

Definitely,..!

I wasn't expecting too much ng kumuha ang WD TV Live,
ang buong akala ko ay parang PQ lang na kamukha ng sa PC
ang makikita ko, I was mistaken, napakaganda ng PQ and AQ
na ibinibigay ng WD lalo nga kung HD ang file,...

I'd recommend this,...

[joelsoldao]

Ganyan din po ako.hehe.

[ABCmotorparts]

And the addiction continues,...
Just bought a WD My Book 1TB,...

sana maging mura na ang BD burner at BD blanks

baka pagtagal meron nang mura nito sa cdr king

[pooch]

baka pagtagal meron nang mura nito sa cdr king

tapos de ballpen pa din ang resibo lol 

[Alfie]

baka pagtagal meron nang mura nito sa cdr king

matagal nang mayroon sa CDR-King....kaya lang 200pesos ang isa.

Mukhang hindi baba-ba ang presyo,at mukhang matagal tagal pa ang magiging relevance nang DVD sa buhay natin, baka nga mamatay and Bluray tulad nang SACD at HDDVD.

[cHess]

May kamahalan kasi talaga ang bluray. Dito sa pinas mas afford ng karamihan ang DVD. Total kung maganda naman ang PQ at AQ solve na sa karamihan.

Hindi ma-appreciate ang high cost just ng karamihan. Di kagaya ng mga enthusiast dito PDVD.
