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...

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?

Are you using software for your Video collection?

Title: Re: Movie Storage
Post by: av_phile1 on Jan 27, 2010 at 09:41 AM

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.

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.

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.

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,...

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. ::)

Post by: cHess on Feb 15, 2011 at 09:46 AM

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.
