Subject: [H] Connecting a DVD changer to HTPC?
Anyone experimented with this? A possible alternative to several TB
of HD space would be to get something like this:

When we talk about high quantity data storage on optical disks, aren't DVD's
already obsolete as far as serious consideration goes? When my planning for
the future advances to hard drive space vs. optical disk data storage, I
think in terms of Blue Ray, not DVD's. This brings up two questions:
1. Who is your vote for, Blue Ray or HD-DVD?
2. Which one will win? I hope we do not end up with a hung jury on this one!
I hope Blue Ray does to HD-DVD what VHS did to Beta tapes and what IBM
clones did to Macs.
I hope Blue Ray will offer 3 inch diameter disks, like CD's and DVD's did.
Can you imagine how many MP3's will fit on a Blue Ray 3 inch diameter disk?
Those will work well in multi media players that play most all formats in
CD, DVD and Blue Ray, audio and movies.
