hi all im in the process of filling up a hard drive with movies from my movie wish list - at least ive started to anyway...
the thing is that i would love to be able to watch the movies in my living room without having to convert to dvd, wich is how ive been doing it so far - and its okay BUT ....
i would love to know if theres anything available that will allow playback of these movies ( a range of different formats )without being converted to DVD?
ive heard of something called popcorn hour ???
only briefly hread about this somewhere - never bothered to look into it and i wanted to hear it straight from the AD Squad, what it is that you guys are using for playback on your Flatscreens without any problems with playback.
do these things support subtitles too?
tv: (Samsung LN40A650 LCD)

Popcorn is one, WD Media player another, and a lot of DVD players have a USB port and support at least AVI.

how far is the computer from the tv? Some flatscreen tv's actually have a vga input (my 4 year old olevia 27 inch lcd has one). You can just connect your computer to the big screen, I've done it before, the computer treats the tv just like a computer monitor. From there just use gomplayer or vlc or powerdvd to watch your movies, you can even buy a usb remote control ( this the one I use http://www.streamzap.com/ ). I don't see any reason to spend extra money on a media hard drive, when the computer can do a better job.
