We did that too - but it's a poor workaround unless your tv is near your computer or you want to do A LOT of printing of solid black pages!

The obvious answer to your problem is an iPad. Wink

I still believe I could rip all of our DVD collection, load them on iTunes to the current AppleTV and I would be set. That
would be so cool to be able to instantly pull up one of about 300 or 400 movies at will.

So why haven't you?

Assuming you run all your movies through Handbrake, set the size to 1GB each and have a mirrored backup, you could have everything ripped to a 1TB drive with room to grow.

I would suggest using Plex in place of Front Row and searching in FR sucks once you get past 75-100 files.

I would also sugguest getting a metadata editor to use on your ripped files. I use MetaX and it only takes a few minutes to place all the needed info for plex or FR to read.

It really is nice to have everything ripped.
Well I hinted around at an Appe TV for Christmas but Santa didn't bring me one.
