Default Re: Setup A Movie Library of DVD Images I Can Play In My Living Room

Honestly I don't know how well the different parts of MythTV run on different hardware. I don't think the Inspiron would be able to record full resolution while you watch a saved video, for example. Everything in MythTV is plug in based, so if all you want to do is watch videos and show still images then you can remove the DVR functionality.

As for the hardware, it depends what you're starting with. The MythTV site will be your best bet. You can ask them questions about what will run on your setup, what you need to get, etc etc etc.

If you enjoy computers it will be a fun project. If you just want something that works and you're willing to pay Windows Media Center will have more support and probably work with less hassle.
