Re: Blu Ray Audio/Video Obsessor's
Most lionsgate ----. A lot of the new stuff.
I'm at 2.5tb of movies. A lot of them bluray/hddvd rips. Too lazy to be searching/flipping/changing discs all the time.
Wonder when 9.1 is coming out :1

So you don't know any movies off the top of your head that are 7.1 ? how do you play the ones you have off your tv, do you use media center or something?
My laptop has hdmi out, i wonder if it can do surround etc, even though it just has a normal dvd player on it.

I personally don't notice any difference between 5.1 and 7.1

There's this thing called marketing, where they add more and more (because more is obviously better right?) so people continue upgrading.
I guarantee there will be more audio channels added in the future, just so people go buy it.
Lionsgate movies is what I said, look up Lionsgate and see what they've released. The saw movies for example are lionsgate.

I know that 7.1 will not add much to my experience, but the LXi's that I will replace the monitor 60's with will. I think I will buy some LXi's move the monitor 60's to surround, and the monitor 50's to surround back.

I use Vista Media Center (uses Windows Media Player) with FFDShow decoding most formats and MPC Video Decoder for x264 stuff.
I don't have a bluray drive but I hear Arcsoft Total Media Theater is the best software for bluray playback and media center integration.

I personally just use my PC, because I'm living with a couple friends, sold my TV, and have a 26" monitor. In the next month or so (when my roommates close on their house and leave), I'll be streaming the media from a 7.5TB media server to two cheap HTPCs. My PC streams media to two other PCs in the house, whenever they feel like watching something.
Jago is the baller who is already streaming.
