[geebones]

what format are your movies

[that1guyoverthr]

@geebones For the most part .mkv files. H.264 video codec for video. ACC DTS for audio. Anywhere between 4.5 to 10gb a piece.

[geebones]

@that1guyoverthr how many do you have on there

[that1guyoverthr]

@geebones Movies, you mean? More than 400. Sumthin' like that.

[geebones]

@that1guyoverthr so you copy all your dvds do you have tv shows

[that1guyoverthr]

@geebones Some TV shows.. Chappelle Show, The office, ATHF... Most of my TV I catch on Hulu or Netflix. The movies I have are downloaded in HD - Better than DVD. :)

I have similar setup!

[Charrasca]

Probably you are better off the glass beneath the sub,

[xPyschoxStevex]

How does the remote connect to the Mac Mini is it IR ?

[eoghanhennessy15]

tip: you should place the sub on the floor, not on the shelf, and keep your speakers at ear level...

Awesome set up tho :)

[eoghanhennessy15]

@that1guyoverthr I have a good ratio on some sites, email me your contact to eoghanhennessy@me.com and i will reply with screen shots?

[rayray5340]

i have a setup similar to this but my hardware is more up to date. however i don't have the remote buddy and the harmony remote. i'm using a keyboard and mouse to switch between apps. The remote would make things a bit more easier.

[rayray5340]

@Rahul4446 i personally use a drobo its freaking awesome

[MrTenten75]

I have a question for you.

I have the same set up that you did, mac mini, 46" Sharp LCD television, PS3 and a Yamaha receiver. My question is with the mac mini as you media server do you think I still need BOXXEE?

[RARELYSERIOUSB]

@gadgetboy1234 that would be great.

[gadgetboy1234]

@RARELYSERIOUSB I will do one soon if you want.
