Corrosion. Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I thinking more toward a media server. but it only has a 20GB hdd, I think it would be best for mp3s and not video unless there is a good compression that would allow me to store a good amount of video. I don't have a streaming box, how can I stream my audio and video into my stereo and tv? I'd like to stream it into tv via the cables lines in the house, unsure if I can with my current hardware.

SomeoneE1se Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 just get a RCA to 3.5mm audio jack and it will "just work*" *It will probably not 'just work'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I don't understand the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrosion. Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 I don't understand the question. Is there a video compression that will compress dvd quality videos to the exstent I could have say 40 movies on my hdd or more. It's an old pc p2 proc 512 ram 20gb hdd... And what would be the best software to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The quality would be pretty bad. I suggest you get a bigger hard drive. They are cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 divx/xvid would do that, but at 500MB a movie (providing you'll have no OS or apps) you're stretching the quality. Also, if you're transcoding on the PII then you'll be there for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrosion. Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 500-700mb per movie wouldn't be too bad......... But yes I'll need a bigger hdd, I just need to get some cash :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor512 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 use avi. many codecs can get a 2 hour movie down to 600MB at 640x480 and keep really good quality PS you can get a 120GB hard drive for like $30-40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
