Note: the below question is regarding Windows XP SP2, not the media center edition

Hi guys, Banzojie asked a very similar question to this just a few posts down, however I didnt exactly understand all of the info given to him.

Here is my dilemma. I own an business with 5 computers running xp(sp2). Each computer is in a different office. the network is hardwired and run by a main server.

I would like all of these computers to be able to access a library of dvd's (movies/tv shows) that I have ripped. I use clone dvd with any dvd. I like the fact that it cuts the size in half to save space. I also like the fact that it retains all the titles, and thats what I would like to continue with.

Here is my goal:
1)Burn dvds into computer
2)Use a software that all the computers in the office can access
3)The software needs to be so "user friendly" a child can use it. Think tivo, or xbox media center.

So basically, you come to my practice, you are alone in an office waiting, there is a computer in front of you with a list of shows you can watch, you click a button or two and you are watching something. All this is being fed from a main server.

Is it possible. I dont mind paying for software. I just want all the computers to be able to acces a movie, or show, and watch it. Once again, it is hardwired, so speed isnt a problem.

Thanks in advance for any advice
