What I really want is Super Upconvert software that will allow me to rip a DVD, upconvert it, and save it as an ISO, all in one step. Then I can play it on demand via my Media PC...
As a follow up: I want to be able to watch content in multiple rooms, and i want to be able to put media on my laptop and take it with me, to a friends house. I'd much rather spend $600 or $800 per location (in my house) for a media computer that also allows me to see my security cameras, browse the web, access my music and video library, than I would buying a $400 piece of equipment that does 1 thing.
Hard drives are cheap. 7200RPM SATA 3.0 750 GB drives are about $100. I can store a DVD for about $0.75, and a BRD for less that $5. My entire DVD collection will cost me less than $200 in storage to store uncompressed with all the navigation, etc.

what a waste.. just upconvert in real time with ffdshow - i'm sure the XDE is just using similiar filters.
Then I have to get my fat ass off the couch and put the disc in the tray. No thanks.
