I know that there are already some threads about that, but i still havent found the latest knews about that problem.
My plan actually is to ripp all my dvds to hdd using shrink.
I want to stream the ts ifo files to my x box 360.
Yesterday i set up the t versity on my pc and i was able to stream single vob files to my x box 360. But of course its a pain to deal with single files. I want to be able to stream the whole dvd including menu. Also didnt work the 5.1 sound. I only was able to hear stereo. In ffd show audio decoder the speaker set up is on 5.1. I use the ac3 codec from ac3.net.
Is ist possible at all to handle to play a whole dvd ts file and get 5.1 with vob to work or do i have to use a total kind of set up like popcorn hour client with a nas or pc server. As far as i know popcorn is able to handle ts_dvd files and 5.1.
Thx for any information

Rip to something that streams to the 360 without transcoding. I realize that when you want to watch it on the PC a DVD-like file has more control, but if you'll stream them most often, it's just a waste of time not going for WMV9 or divx...

First, let's know something about IFO BUP VOB.
VOB (Video OBjects): VOB is the container format in DVD-Video media, which contains digital video & audio, subtitles, DVD menus and navigation contents multiplexed together into a stream form.
IFO (InFOrmation): IFO file is an important document to control the VOB file playback process.
BUP (BackUP): The BUP file is exactly the same as the IFO file, which is a backup of the IFO file.

Then, a lot of discussion about streaming service has to do with the picture quality and little or none on the audio! The audio being the other half of a home theater system is somewhat ignored about how to get Dolby 5.1 from a streaming service such as Netflix.

so, do you understand?
