Hm. I've been trying to find out as much as I can about this, but haven't found much info.

So since I'm no expert on this technology, lemme splain what I want to do.

I want to:

1) Backup a DVD using a program like DVD Shrink. This creates a .VOB file that seems to play back ok with Windows Media Player (but not PowerDVD for some reason)
2) Stream the movie to a device for playback on my TV in very high quality (anamorphic) and with DD5.1 or DTS.

I don't need/want wireless.

What format is the .VOB that DVD Shrink creates? Is this how you guys store your DVDs on your HDs?

I guess I could get a video card that outputs to the TV and a sound card with a digital out, and just stream from my PC... right? What's the best method for this??? All ideas appreciated.
