I just purchased a HP Mediasmart server to host all if my dvd's/music/pictures. I'm looking for the best solution for ripping my DVD's and Blu-Ray Dvd's to the server to then stream to my xbox, put on my iphone, or play on my ipad. I believe that DVDFab is that product. I downloaded the Blu-ray ripper and tested it on Iron Man 2. Here's my questions.
1. If I purchase the full version, does it have the "DVD FAB" icon at the beginning of all the movies as well, or is that just something built into the trial version?
2. I'm not stupid when it comes to computers, but that doesn't mean I'm knowledgeable in this department. When I'm trying to rip, do I need to setup a "Queue" for every device type that I want to use? currently what I did for my test was rip to AVI. I didn't setup any queue's. When I mapped to the server from the xbox, I found my folder with the movie and it played fine. But when I went to the server and looked at the file, it was a WMA file. WHile this is great for the xbox or computers, it sucks for the ipad/iphones. What did I do wrong?
3. Looking at file sizes, I have 8 TB of space to work with, so I'm not hurting for space, but don't want to just throw caution to the wind. If I build up queue's for all the device types, does it creat a separate file for each device type? TO me this seems incredibly stupid as I don't need to have 20 gigs used up on each blu-ray movie.
Most of these answers will be done when the movie gets done ripping again, but I figured I'd ask here instead of waiting 9 hours to find out.
