Storing Movies

[I8A4RE]

I am about to transfer all my movies from disc to store on HD. Which format are you guys using. I would like a format that is going to be able to used by as many things as possible. eg ps3, ipod/pads, extenders etc.

What are peoples thoughts

[bduffman]

ipods only use mp4 they wont play other formats

[bduffman]

90% of mine are all avi files and i have a box i can plug the hard drive into and it plays them but it wont play mp4 and vlc files

Are you serious I have been researching this for 3 f**ken days now and every site says something different. I know Bennoz streams from pc to ps3 so I wanted to know what he uses. Either say something constructive or piss off. Next time when you need help with your car (or turbo), I will just say JFGI to you........ fkn pole smokers

EDIT: Oh and nice spelling fucktard!!

Oh and I want to convert to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC but I was just double checking to what other people have converted into

OH NO!

Simon's eye brows were sloping down towards the middle of his face in a 45 degree angle, with an upside down smile on his face while typing in this thread.

*Backs away slowly*

You can go ahead with H.264/MPEG-4, I can't think of anything better.

PS - lol @ Simon correcting somebody elses spelling for a change

[I8A4RE]

lol, yeah after re-reading that, it did sound a bit harsh but I was laughing when I wrote it....sorry Stef if I hurt your feelings.

For streaming to the PS3, you've gotta have them loaded into a Windows Media Player library. I usually keep them in avi format, but mpegs & mp4s will also work.

Don't have too, that's just one way.

Mine are in AVI format and I use tversity to stream my movies, music and pictures to the PS3 (which has a 500GB hard drive anyway)

I also use https://www.homepipe.net/ to access my PC files from my Android phone anywhere in the world.

After ripping your dvd's use this to convert them to .avi files

It does take ages though

[Bennoz]

Well there ya go. Every day's a school day!

[I8A4RE]

Yeah I have been looking at tversity but I think only the pro version can stream H.264/MPEG-4. But that is alright WMP can so I think I will stick with that.

It is going to take a life time to encode to a new format and H.264/MPEG-4 looks like the way forward so I am going to stick with that.

Thanks guys for the info

Illegal downloading is bad, mkay.

*goes off to watch Walking Dead that he didn't download from the internet or anything, honest.

[bduffman]

no one said any thing about ilegal downloading just how much they have stored ( buy a movie store it on hard drive is 100% legal )

Any way you can back up your movies so you can keep the original safe from damage.
As long as you still own the original movie you can still have it stored on a device of your choice.
