Stand alone DVD Server

(1/2) > >>

Corporate hack:
Before someone says you should go build a box that... no.  I'm looking for a stand alone unit.

Is there something out there that I can basically drop a DVD or BLU-Ray disc into, it will rip it, store it on a hard drive and act as a server or just stand alone player for my tv?  I really, really, really want to box up and store my dvds as they juts take up too much space, and I'm willing to pay to get that space back.

philR:
why not rip them to a hard drive then use a boxee or the like to play them?

I have yet to figure out how to get a system set up that doesn't give me jittery ripping.

Sure there is - Get this:

Probably WAY out of your price range though - these are designed to sell to Hollywood and DOT COM moguls.

They start at around $5K (at least in 2010 they where) and the sky is the limit - a decent system will run you about $17K

flipp:
It looks like the vortex box mentioned here would be perfect except it appears to be audio only. Maybe in the future some firmware update will allow it to do DVDs also.
