I'm looking for some recommendations on how best to store my movies for easy access. I want to start ripping my movies to my main storage computer and make them easily accessible to the rest of the computers on my home network. All three major TV's in the house have have a pc attached (Vista and XP) and a wii running wii media center.

My concerns are what video format, what file structure, and what software on the pc(s)? I am now using VLC to access a few test files and all is working fine for the network. I would like to go to a graphical interface for the main tv's to make it easy for the non computer savy. At the same time I'd like to keep a standard format to stay wiimc friendly.

Thoughts?

Well since VLC is a universal media player you can't use that as parameter, you would have to look into the weakest link in your network, that is the Wii media player limitations and go with that.
