You can Play 1080p CHEAP if you get yourself a “WDTV LIVE” (with EtherNET) media player… for about $130 (US) instead of upgrading your PC or CPU.

This later version, “LIVE”, can play the video’s right from any shared folder on any PC on your network.

I got one for Christmas and that baby will play even Bluray disks if you’ve copied to your Hard drive. IT plays MKV and Divx AVI natively. And the interface is SO easy, a Caveman can use it Just my two cents.

I’ve heard people banging on about x264. But what is it?

Cigol:

I’m on telewest broadband on a £35/month package with 10mbitdown and 768k up, unlimited bandwidth. We even get crappy TV thrown in, which im thinking about bying a nokia dbox for and hacking it but thats another story
I live with 5 other people in my house, two of which are heavy downloaders like myself..so we’re using probably around half a terabyte / month between us.. telewest have not even done so much as to bat an eyelid.

Cable. If you can, you should.

Crazy. I have a 50gb limit a month and even those on ‘unlimited’ in the UK will have fair use policies which make downloading such things extremely problematic.

Oh well

But I might add that x264 re.encodes are the ones I would (and probably most of you too) get. They are under 10GB and they have almost the same quality.

For me it would take about 7 hours at full speed and realistcly about 24 hours..
Not that bad and I know there are much faster Internets available for a reasonable price, so yeah 20GB is not an insane size..

#23: Why wouldnt it work?
It a RIP, no copyprotection.. It will just be like any other “blu-ray” disc.. It will probably work just fine to play up..
It would probably get messy if u cut parts out that was 4.5gb and put on a dvdr and tried to play on your computer. Tho a dvd-player doesnt read in enough speed to make the video go smooth.(I would guess. )

And for u guys complaining about the size. What internet-speed did u have 1999 when the dvdr came with 4.5gb?
This hd-dvd & blu-ray will probably be here for 10years or so.
