Really? Cool, what is the requirement?

Any decent infrastructure. I've been successful over WiFi, but GigE is by far the preferred method (speed of start and seek is noticeably different).

off to investigate, thanks!

GL. If you need help I am always available for remote consultations.

Emile, I appreciate it.

I use DVDFab to rip my Blu-Rays and DVDs. Works great!

For Blu-Ray's, I'm using my Oppo 93.

If you have a 2012 or later mac mini you should be watching ripped blu-rays via your mac mini for better play back quality than any stand alone player like your Oppo. The mac mini has a more robust CPU and GPU than your stand alone players. That's why I watch my ripped blu-rays via my PC using JRiver.

How much time to rip a blu-ray, I wonder?

About 1HR. I do it in the background and watch FIOS TV during that time or I just go do something else and come back to it later.

I'm a dinosaur, I know, but I didn't even think you could rip a BD? I know and have ripped DVDs, which seemed to take forever, not an hour. IIRC, it was a two stage process. I stopped doing it because of the time involved. It's a good bet I have no clue.
