Re: [DVR] TiVo vs Windows Media Center?

When you say Blu-Ray, do you mean the movie has been converted to a playable file, such as MP4? WMC will not play a BR disc or ISO or whatever, I think.

No. It's ripped into folder format, using AnyDVD.

Oh, missed that last part to your sentence. That's unfortunate. That's why I'm looking at this option instead of TiVo. Strange, though, because MyMovies allows me to index my Blu-Rays in WMC, so I thought that meant I could play them. I could certainly use something like TotalMedia player, but I was hoping to play it right in WMC.

Total media is integrated in wmc. Works great.

Awesome, that's good to know. I know I can play movies from the RAID server via TotalMedia.
