I am using main lobby for my sony 777 carousels and want to get away from them. I want to get all of my 1000 dvds converted to digital files.
Two of my TVs can do digital streaming. So I think this makes sense. I do have whole house video using aviatrix, but the quality kinda suck.
I have not got my HS to version 3 yet. But will do soon.
What is the best encoder for my DVDs? What format do I want to use and sample rate. Someone told me to just save them all as ISO and I will have all the content with menus, etc. Or this that a waste of time? I talked with a guy the other day that said to get them into MP4 format. So what is right? MP4 or ISO?
Then what software for burning the DVDS? Why isn't there a service like iTunes match for video that all I do is put in the DVD and it proves I own it, and I get a perpetual license (ok off point... I know ... )
So once i get a few burned to digital formal. What to use for the server. Serviio? Is there a better one? I don't care about free. I want quality and features...
I have a 1000 titles or more. I like what Mainlobby has for serving up stuff, but I really want to try to do everything in HomeSeer and get rid of the Main Lobby part. I only want to have to upgrade one system, not HS and Main Lobby.
Thanks in advance for the advice on getting me going.
