    you know how normally when your connected to your router with wifi or ethanet you can discover things on the network and map network drives, well ive got a problem ive got a desktop that im using but the only way i can connect it to the internet is through mobile hotspot on my tablet (there is no other way i can connect it other than a wireless usb dongle that i cannot afford at this time), is there any way for me to be able to get it to act like normal so i can access my network files and shares.

    do you know of any good cheap bluray drives? are usb or ones that go into the desktop better? also does copying it rely on cpu more or just how fast the drive is?
  12. ItsJacob
    wow guys thanks for all the support so quickly, if i asked this anywhere else i would either be waiting days for someone to reply or searching google for hours
  13. ItsJacob
    okay thanks

    also a stupid question but do you need a bluray disc drive or not? any good cheap ones to link. also does it matter what blura discdrive you have?

    does makemvk copy the full 7.1 (or more) sound (if avaliable)? and the same for the video
  16. ItsJacob
    oh, im in australia anyway
  17. ItsJacob
    ?? how long does it take to copy, i would imagine it wouldnt take that long right? yeah that what i plan on doing, just pretty much replacing the physical copy with a digital disk drives??
  18. ItsJacob
    im not really worried about space though, i would probably only copy the ones we want to watch anywhere and i might scale it down or whatever so its not too big on space
  19. ItsJacob
    yeah i gather that but if you buy the bluray and copy it but dont share it and use it instead of the dvd wouldnt that be okay?
  20. ItsJacob
    thanks whats the cough cough for? also if anyone else has any other ideas or suggestions feel free to comment them

    so im not sure really where to put this, also i dont normally post on here so im not sure on really what to do At home we have our own home theatre that we built with an actual projector and so on *Photos taken by me* and recently i set up one of my old desktops to use as a plex server and a file server (dont worry i have got that all sorted out fine). i heard linus say something about copying all his blurays onto his media server so he doesant have to fumble around with discs. and that got me thinking about doing the same thing, we have about 100 or so blurays in the cupboard and my question is how can i copy/rip (not sure what to call it) the blurays onto my media server wihtout loosing any quality so i can stream it through my plex server? i know there is the route of torrenting them but we support the film industry and would rather buy them so we can get the best quality, i do admit to downloading a few movies (only like 3 becasue i couldnt wait for the bluray) but i dont really like to do that. (and i cant do that now anyway since those sites have been blocked in australia) so im woundering is there a way to copy them onto my hard drive for my plex server. TL;DR Im wanting to know how to copy my blurays discs to a file without loosing any quality so i can watch them in my home theatre without swapping discs everytime, and to stream on my plex server.

    this projector looks amazing, I like how it has a short throw which means you don't have to worry about people walking in front of it and because its close to the wall it means it will be brighter in the day time which is great if you wanted to use this instead of a normal tv. I would put this on my roof and use it as a overhead, then that means no cables and I wont have to run cables around my room if I had a normal projector, this projector looks so good seeming though I've been looking for a cheap 1080p projector.
