Thank you :)

My beta has ran out despite trying to download a fresh copy. Any idea how to get a full copy of this? I loved using it- very simple :-)

Well I'm on top of this I do believe. Now it's just a case of whether I want DVD iso files taking up over 4GB or mp4/mkv files at just under 900mb- I will look at the quality of both and see what I can live with. I'm not onto BR yet, but I'm guessing I need to maximise space if I do. I'm sold...

After my last post-http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2316314&page=2 I'm thinking ISO files are the quickest and best quality way to go- would you agree? As Im currently burning an ISO image now with that ANY DVD cloner program I bought- I am also hoping it will eliminate the skipping...

Hi guys, I finally received the My Book and have had a quick play. I've used the MakeMKV beta for converting 3 DVDS and storing straight to the HDD. Works well so far and hasn't been an issue- all files are played. However- my TV sees the HDD and the files and also recognises the named...

Ill have a play around and see what suits me- as soon as I get this goddamn HDD. :( It will be a trade off between time versus quality versus space, but as I am a busy chef then what's quickest may work best.

It's a LG 37LD490 flat screen. Just a couple of years old so not too shabby :-)

Thanks I will. Can't seem to do it on my phone tho. I just discovered the any DVD cloner I bought created a skippy DVD- in fact it was so bad it was unwatchable- so slysofts anydvd will be winging its way to me in due course. Still waiting on my external hdd, ebuyer seem to have let me down on...

Smitbret- I can't thank you enough for your patience and time. I knew I'd crack this problem and I got there in the end. The problem lay with the USB stick- it was faulty. I know because I tried a new flash drive using 2 of the files I created and they worked perfectly. God knows why it chose...

So, just to double check, is the file extension (.m4v or .mp4) on the file? I followed your guide to the letter- it was then I noticed the file extension issue you have mentioned previously. I left it as mv4 and put 2 copies on the flash drive. I changed one copy in windows to mp4. The mv4...

All the files are 'seen' by the WD player by the way.

To summarise what works and what doesn't: This plays and isn't my handiwork: the.hobbit.2012.DVDscr.XVID.AC3.HQ.Hive-CM8.avi These don't and the encoding is my handiwork: Quantum Of Solace Demo -1.mp4 Handbrake quantum of solace mkv.mkv Title 2-1-1-xvid.avi Title 2-1-1.avi I conclude I'm the...

I'm beginning to think I'm simple. Its driving me nuts and I dont know why. I have just converted the iso file I mentioned- a small AnyDVD copy of 20 minutes of a film. Its a small file because I'm currently using the free AnyDVD download before I buy it- and it only converts a chapter and...

The box is the WDTV Live streaming media player.

Thanks for the great tips guys. I have just tried handbrake on a small clip of a DVD which was an ISO and converted it into a MKV file. However, the WD TV player is still stubbornly refusing to play the file. Will the USB stick be causing the issue? The WDTV Live player displays these...
