Mount ISO at server and stream content. I guess the menu structure could be sent although with DVD ISOs most people aren't too bothered about the annoying menu systems as long as content is navagable. You would need to give people the choice of audio stream. I like to watch my films with original soundtrack and subtitles... doch my mandarin is worse than my non-existant german. However there is HiDef content and it doesn't tend to stream well over wireless connections. HiDef ISOs weren't dealt with by most products when I last looked. There are I believe tools that produce rips in ISO format with just the video in it. I have never used these tools but from looking at other product forums (like the WDHDTV one) I recollec this as being a format some people use. Me... I like the convenience of taking content I own and accessing it via a digital Juke Box. I like having physical originals as backups. I find the chains of the DRM and Physical worlds inconvenient. The pre-DRM CD is a good model for video but not one that content producers like. -- fairyliquidizer "O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!
