Hey thanks, I'm going to look into all this and figure out what I'm
going to do. Appreciate the info.

Hi,
Yes you can use the Mac Mini as such. You can get the adapter from
your Apple store from about $30. The bluetooth keyboard is about
$70. Then you have a voiceover system that allows to pull from any
disk on the network. I think the Apple TV has this capability, but I
am unsure, about pulling from other disks I mean.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,

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
