DVD streaming works fine over 100Mbit, in fact I believe that Bluray also works fine over 100Mbit connections. DVD has a maximum bit rate (for official DVDs) of about 9.8Mbit/sec, so at a push you could possibly stream it over a 10Mbit connection (although may need to cache the stream a tad). The maxium bit rate of Bluray is about 40Mbit/sec.On Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:01:04 -0000, Paul Sutton <zleap@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:maybe with gigE you can just share the drive. Over wifi or 10/100 ethernet I expect you'd need to decrease the bitrate somehow- either by ripping the dvd or with a transcoding media serveris there a way to say stream a dvd across a network if you have a desktop with a dvd drive ?
LOL, I might try that arguement with the wife, I expect it'll fall on deaf ears.Netbooks / notebooks / desktops all have their placeSo we all should get one of each!
