Blu-ray Question

[camens]

My Extender will be here in a few days and I'd like to stream my Blu-ray discs. I have a huge server so I don't mind the size of these discs after I rip them. Can I stream the m2ts or do I have to convert them? Any really simply, sure-fire way of doing this?

I've actually spent a number of hours going over that thread. Unfortunately I still had some specific issues I didn't understand and thought I'd see if anybody had any new ideas or procedures they are using.

In general you should remux the m2ts into mkv with audio that the extender supports (AC3 is "safest"). Whether or not that works for you will depend on the bitrate of the BD source video, and the through put on your network.....

btl.

The first one I ripped and remuxed came was VC1, which I was having trouble getting to mkv. Do you know if the HD-100 supports VC1?

Yes it does but I still can't get strutter free playback. I have a HD-DVD movie untouched VC1/AC3 mkv which is 12GB and that plays back with a stutter every few minutes. I also have a Blu-ray rip that is also VC1/AC3 untouched mkv which is 21GB and that stutters every few seconds. Like Bialo said, it seems to depend on network traffic and the bitrate of the mkv.
