Hey all, I had asked about this on another list, but wanted to ask you
all as well. I am sure someone on this list has an Apple TV, but I'm
trying to recall if that's the case or what.
In any event this is two questions really.
First, I worked with Handbreak and got movies formatted such that they
should work fine on the Apple TV device. What I wasn't sure of is if
the movies could be played from that device on another computer or
only on a tv. Secondly, I may be wrong, but can the Apple TV pull
content from a disk that is accessible to the entire network and
stream from there.
My other question is I have that Mac Mini I was offering up for sale.
An idea occured to me and that is could I attach that to a TV and use
it to play video content? Basically it would become an Apple TV of
sorts. I don't know if there is a video adapter that would allow it to
work this way. Of course I'd have to get the remote from hell which
means a Bluetooth keyboard, but gee that would be neat.
So, any thoughts appreciated. It just seems to me that we've got so
many DVDs, for archive purposes and the like and preservation of the
discs, it makes sense to put them on a drive and everyone could enjoy
them where and whenever they choose.
tnx
