If you listen to Entertainment 2.0 or read The DMZ regularly, you know that our own Josh Pollard recently posted a how-to on ripping DVDs to a hard drive. There are a number of ways to achieve this and Josh has provided a good step-by-step to get you streaming your movies around your home.
Media Center MVP Pete Stagman, who runs the NEDMUG site, has just provided the same service for Blu-rays. The process is a bit more involved than DVDs but Pete takes you through the whole process from start to finish. Head over and take a read if you’re ready to get started!
Neither Pete nor Josh have the only method of ripping content but these are both tried and true methods that will allow you to view your content the way you want, not the way the providers want you to. How do you rip content to your Media Center? Share with us in the comments or email us if you’d like to write up your own how-to and publish it here on The DMZ!
I use either MakeMKV (http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2009/12/30/make…) or Clown_BD (http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2009/08/19/clow…). Play everything with WMC + MediaBrowser. Plan on taking the dangerous journey in bitstreaming soon using the 5xxx + FFDShow, should be interesting…
Please check out Auto Rip n Compress for both DVD's and Blu-Rays.

Did you hear about the fellow that was talking to his buddy, when he said, “I don't know what to get my wife for her birthday. She has everything, and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants. So, I'm stumped.”
His buddy said, “I have an idea. Why don't you make up a certificate that says she can have two hours of great sex, any way she wants it. She'll probably be thrilled!” So the first fella did just that.
The next day his buddy asked, “Well, did you take my suggestion? How did it turn out?”
“She loved it. She jumped up, thanked me, kissed me on the mouth, and ran out the door yelling, 'I'll see you in two hours'.”
