It must be nice to have nice cars but I think it's more important to know how to drive them.

 

anyone here know how to rip blu-ray movies to a hard drive in full resolution? my main reason for doing this is to be able to play my current selection of movies anywhere my PS3 is in my house. i dont feel like always connecting my laptop to the specific tv and playing the blu-ray off the laptop. i'd rather store an .avi file on my computer and access it from the PS3 and since Netflix will soon be on the PS3 too i want to get things setup for my living room as well.

im not looking to rip all the menus/extras and crap, just the main movie, and the highest quality audio track available on the disc.

i did a test last night with a program called Pavtube and it ripped the movie Speed Racer in full HD but took like 4hrs to do (i dont mind, i know its a slow process) but its not a free software and i havent been able to "locate a suitable version." The movie itself and its audio came to be 11.XX GB which is fine considering thats how big full 1080p torrents usually are anyways. Gonna be picking up several WD Caviar Black 1TB Drives hopefully this holiday season

thanks for any help

 

i just built out a large TB zfs server for the house. check out the PS3 hacks pages, you can due blue ray ripping from the PS3 itself. i bet those cell processors would eat up the ripping and encoding. from there, i'd take it to an mkv over avi and throw it on a network storage server.

freenas = greatest shit evar.

 

ripping them to an avi would not b wise...u should rip them as mkv...

i was looking at this on thinkgeek...its Mivx...

i was thinking bout getting it to hook up my 3 1TB xternals to it...it plays everything even MKV files...

unit is only $170

 

^i had one of those mediagates in my car. its pretty nice.

 

sf krew poops on the bay area, but ill always respect a well done up car with the drivers own money more.

 

does ps3 play .mkv files? i havent use the ps3 for anything other than games and physical bd discs so i wouldnt know. but yea if it does then i'll go with mkv over avi.

 

People who make their money through investments have something to invest. They can also swallow the loss.

I know it's a cliche, but it does take money to make money.

Owning your own business is key to being rich.

All I have to say is learn about taxes. Period. Less money you give Uncle Sam, the more you have in your pocket, the better off you'll be.

 

oh btw, i'd prefer not to do it over the ps3 because i'd have to install linux, re-learn how it works and crap, and then rip it, and then transfer.

i have a blu-ray drive in my laptop and will eventually have one in the desktop so i can use something like Anydvd HD to rip it. problem with anydvd is that it rips the whole disc, up to 50gb and i dont want all that, just the video and audio so that its a more managable ~10-12gb file. just looking for something simple like anydvd hd that lets me choose what i want to rip.

 

does anyone have a extra head unit that there not using?

 

If I get these pieces together to put my engine together.

01 MDX Short Block, RL Pistons, re-use my CLS Heads.

Does anybody know someone who can put this together at a good rate for me?

It would be a cash job.

 

hmmm maybe Anthony Heyitsvu...

he did his whole 6 speed swap by himself...

he was just askin about u

 

Yeah, maybe his mechanic guy.

Because this would have to be assembled.

Yeah, we were supposed to get together and install my headers before he went back to Davis.

 

yea, i already know that.. It's too bad our main customer got caught up doing that so.......

 

I have a Pioneer DEH-P7400MP Kev. Do you need a head unit for cheap? I'm looking to upgrade. Let me know.

 

ripping them yourself would be a huge pain in the ass. Most every movie these days is available in 1080p with a DTS track (torrents/newsgroups). There are a handfull of really good groups that do some superb encodes. Wiki, esir, d-zon3, eureka and atom come to mind. I almost only just DL their releases, you cant even tell the different between the source and the encode

the 11gb for speed racer, what bitrate are you using for the video and audio? what format is the audio in?

I've heard theres a program called ps3mediaserver that's supposed to be able to stream 1080 mkvs but I dont have a ps3 so I can't comment on it. If that were the case I'd say your best bet would be to just DL the 1080 rips to a server and stream them to your PS3.

WDTV live is cheaper and better, theres also the popcorn hour unit but I think it's around the $200 mark. or even better yet, build an HTPC

 

Anyone going to hellaflush want to roll in together? Or are you all going w/ different groups?
