RE: Best codec for WD TV unit?

Hi, that is a tough question . I've used most listed. IME it depends more on the size of the file than the compression used. Anything below say 1.2 Gbs starts to lose its resolution fairly quickly. Animations still look decent below the 1.2 threshold.

Space is getting cheaper, how about just rip the entire Dvd? Unless it is a Blu Ray. Then H.264 or MKV looks great compressed down to 4 to 7Gbs.

I have over 200 movies on HD now. I use my PC to play them back through my TV and sound system.
