familyguy,
you seem an expert. so sorry to ask may be for the hundredth time, but what
are the better ways of watching eps?
i am referring both to 350 megs and eventually to 1100 x264 rips.
i ask coz at the moment, simple minded as i am, i watch on my laptop with
ffdshow...
thanks in advance

i used to watch on the the computer too but better to watch on ya tv, i do so
thru a stand alone dvd player that supports divx. you can pick them up pretty
cheap these days 🙂 dont think youre simple minded tho 🙂
i have an old one actually, so i'd have to buy a new one with divx support..
is it worth it though, i mean it won't be able to decode x264 right?
i have a hd tv of course.
do you know if a hddvd player will do the job? i burn a dvd with 4 eps in
x264, and watch it in glorious hd on the tv..
in that case, i'd rather go for that..
use an xbox with xbox media centre and stream it directly from your pc, no
burning required. i have a dvd player that plays divx and xbox and xbox is by
far the best way. hddvd will not do the job yet (as far as i know).
the way i watch is i have a video sender hooked up to my video card/sound card,
push that to the receiver over 5.8ghz and watch on the tv. the input/output is
all rca analog but it sure beats not watching the shows at all.
the video send setup was about $130 and well worth it.
the laptop to hdtv via db15 cable is also an option but the sender is easier
now that it is already in place.
