What do people recommend for a movie server with solid quality playback, user-friendly interface? (Since movies are practically a buck or less per movie on Amazon, we have built up a collection of blu-rays and DVDs.)
1. Just use a dedicated laptop?
- Would that work for burning blu-rays? Particularly where we are international and have blu-rays from multiple zones?
Or is there a movie-server system people like where you insert the blu-ray and either play or just burn to the solid state drive where you can then call it up via a user-friendly front end?
On cost, I imagine a dedicated laptop with 30 terabytes of storage might be $2K? Is something like Imerge (supposedly several thousand incl hard drive) worth more due to something I had not thought of?
Thanks for any advice!
