want to put dvd's (on hdd) in format that Media Center will like. What video format will give me the highest resolution, in comparison to DVD, and also maintain 5.1 sound, that WMP will play, mp4, avi, wmv, etc?
thx,
df

Probably DIvx would be the best, pretty sure it'll play them if you install the Divx codec. |
Will Divx do 5.1 sound? pretty sure it will.
I can't actually find a program that will convert dvd files already on hdd to anything.... except .iso, which I s'pose I could mount on a virtual drive then convert to another format, I want to do it in one conversion though.

No, wmp does not play from dvd folders, unfortunately, I'm using power dvd also, I like that program. I was just trying to get the whole Media Center thing going, like so I could surf through South Park episodes, or movies, or whatever with the MCE remote, rather than mounting images, etc. cyberlink makes a remote, maybe I should just get that....
