So you want to play DVD's over your network ?
as in use a DVD drive on one computer - and then play it from another ?

I am looking for something like this also. Is it possible to save DVD images on a hard drive and play them onto your TV?

^^ yes if your PC ahs video out on the video card
you can try to use PowerDVD , not free though, cant recall the anme of the free player out there - but it should play unless you havea really bad network.

Hello
My router is Cisco Sydstems (linksys) BEFSR41 and my card are (2x) dlink 530 tx(realtech) drivers and my other card is intel 8230 card. Hope this helps. All set to full duplex. Power dvd(full version) is choppy on store bought dvds but my backedup dvds play without a hiccup.

Thats what I used, my dad's PC had a DVD drive by my PC didn't so I would just put a DVD in his drive and stream it over the network. Best part is it is free.
