Kids....yeah, I get that. I don't have that problem to worry about.
I think serving movies is neat and cool, no doubt. Viewing on the iPhone
(or similar) kills the movie for me. The Laptop is ok when traveling...I
admit to doing that when I feel trapped. But any movie I really like,
I'm going to want to see it on my full HT. I will watch stuff off
netflix when I can...but never something I hope will be really good.
Mediocre movie, mediocre presentation, is my mantra.

For one, if you have small children discs become fragile items that wear out
very quickly or get easily ruined. Also, ripping them to hard disk means
that I can serve them anywhere in the house and on any device. Useful for
things like MacBooks which still can't play BluRay discs. I can also view
them on my iPhone or laptop while traveling if I want.

Optical drives are dog slow and that includes the speed of the door opening
and closing. Plus some games require that you have the disk in the drive and
did I mention that the door is slow. Swapping disks is such a pain...

I want to ask this for information purposes only...why bother ripping DVD
and Blu-rays? I've done this...and frankly, I've lost interest in doing it.
But I get the impression that some here are ripping multitudes of movies to
magnetic media...I have a large collection of Blus and DVDs, but I don't
watch anything frequently enough to need it online (like in my house). For
new content, it does make some sense, though, if you don't want to own the
content you an download it...but if I want to watch upstaris rather than
down, then I just go get the disc...I'm not too lazy YET to do that...and
it's way better than having an HD farm that sucking down juice 24/7 (it
occurs to me that cheap HDs make this all too tempting to do, though, so I
can get that). At least to me it is....

That would be cool for BD when I decide to take the plunge and buy a
BD-ROM. For DVD's I just have AnyDVD rip it to hardrive as an ISO.

Maybe one of the coolest tools I've used in forever. Instant, no
compression conversion of BD and DVD. If your running mce and your used to
archiving your content to use the movie library (or I use Mediabrowser and
MyTv) then this comes as one of the best tools I've seen in years.
It just works.
