With a DiMax Grex I am able to copy Disney VHS tapes to burnable DVDs. Can I go from the burnt DVD to a file on a Linux server and if so, how?
Legally speaking, do I have to keep the original VHS tapes when done? There is plenty of room in an attic area, but the temperature can exceed 100 degrees farenheit. I don't know if a small cooler room can be built up there or not. My father is catching on that I plan on setting up a server and has asked for one step up, he has asked that I password protect any movie that is not rated G potentially. How do I set up password protection in Apache? Just so folks know, I typically php script when I need to do something fancy. Another problematic area is what to connect to the television and how to set up Linux. I haven't been able to get Fedora to work with an HDTV. Is there a particular video card I want? Is there a particular computer I should be looking at that has proper video support built in? Atom boards don't typically. My brother-in-law says to use some kind of Apple computer that is intended for connection to a television. I have a Pentium 4 running XP, but I want to get away from that for 2 reasons. Reason 1 is a size issue. Reason 2, Windows can't be network booted and almost needs a battery backup unit connected. I want a remote for the computer even if I have to build one. The remote should be able to start firefox and allow you to browse a web page for the movie you want to watch. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
