I've just ordered an external 320GB drive to add to my server. This is a necessity because I haven't got enough storage to finish adding all my DVDs to my server as XVID files. Once this is done I can put all the DVDs in a box and can stick them in the attic out of the way.
I have spent quite a while today tidying up or trying to. I have so many unfinished jobs still to do and converting the movies was one of them. I've had piles of DVDs stacked on my living room computer since last year and a huge box full in the spare room.
Anyway the drive was £58.98 + shipping and should be here by the beginning of next week. I will set away encoding some of my movies ready to move them to the new drive :-)
The reason for encoding the DVDs as XVIDs is so I can access any of my films from either my living room or bedroom just by using my Xbox. No need to look for a DVD or try to figure out what its about. Its all done on the Xbox and as a bonus (well for them), my parents can also watch any of them down the street without ever having to come to my house to borrow the DVD.
