HI,

I have a few questions and not sure if this is the correct area to post.

I would like to backup my current DVD movie collection and store them on a external HD instead of backing up to dvd media.

I currently have a PS3 but was also looking at something like the WD TV HD Media Player. Whether or not i need something like the WD TV HD Media Player i don't know, will the PS3 doe all the same features?

Basically i want to backup my dvd movie collection to the BEST or close to best file type that can be played to either of these through a external HD.

So,

1) What is the best or close to best file type to convert my DVD movies to store on a external HD to be played on either the PS3 or WD TV HD Media Player?

2) Should i look into something like the WD TV HD Media Player for ease of use, file types that can be played, etc. or will the PS3 handle everything just as well?

I hope i am somewhat clear enough to what i am asking and appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Moving to the PS3 section - you may get a better response there.
