It seems strange to be a "newbe" when your almost 70 'cause you do not expect to be young again, or atleast so says my Dr.!
The discussions here are probably way over my bald head but here goes ...
My wife's health continues to decline. We have a large DVD library. Some DVDs are blu-ray - some are not.
To pass time away for focus less on her pain, she uses these movies as a diversion.
I have heard on a radio show "tech guy labs" about people who have stored their movies on a server for all the family to use at their own TVs.
Hardware : Is this a NAS server?
But how does one get his movies onto a PC for playback?
I want to use an "on screen" movie selection such that my wife can use a remote. I got her an iPad for the touch screen but not sure how to merge into a system.
I am willing to read any article or book that could give me a step by step guide. Never have seen a good dummies book on this problem.
More and more of my friends are having similar problems.
As for me, back in the 50s: yes I bought a 16" tone arm, got a good low tracking cartridge and a transcription turntable. I still have about 5000 records. I remember haviong a record store with listening booths !! Ah the good old days. Never bought a Wards Silverstone ( as we called them) or a Magot Box ( awful to repair).
Used to be a radio DJ AM & FM. But when I got introduced to working in a recording studio - life changed for me. Its a "drug" I cannot get ride of. There is nothing as good as analog !!!
I had a pro audio store for awhile. Installed THX home theaters ( wow - what a blast). One theater I used a Ultra THX Stewart Screen - man what a picture !!!
Well, its time to take pills. In the words of an old TV show, "Good night Gracie"
