Comment Buy a Kiss DVD / Mpeg4 Player with ethernet (Score 1) 651
This is what I would do:
1) Rip all the DVD's that I just wanted as films to an mpeg4 compressing (DivX/Xvid/...)
2) Store all the riped films on a file server attached to a hub and runing jlink.
3) Connect the Kiss player to the network and to the Plasma screen.
You can then play all the mpeg4 stuff you want, streamed off your file server. If you want menus, then just stick the DVD into the kiss player and view it that way.
Simple to do and you can do it straight away.. sorry for not making this more difficult...
