Need help Finding a specific Video card

[dicecca112]

Looking for a card to put into my new DVD Player Box

Basically I'm using XBMC on Ubuntu, going to rip all of DVDs to a 1TB drive.

It needs to be PCI, have an output of HDMI (if possible) or Component, and a Composite Audio out. Cheaper is better.

PCI card with an HDMI and composite audio out?

I don't see anything on Newegg, though I assume you have already looked there.

I can't imagine a PCI card with an audio out.

thats looks like your options, no audio outs

man, too bad it has to be PCI... really kills all your good choices.

What board is this going into?

[dicecca112]

My Dual Core Atom Box, well if I can find this. If not I might get that WD HDMI Box.

There are some low profile cards there, don't know if that is required.

Screw it, just ordered



EAGLE ET-CSESU2-BK 3.5" Black USB 2.0 External Enclosure - Retail
WD TV HD Media Player
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Rip All my DVDs to that, plug it into the WD Box, attach HDMI cable, and done.

Get the External Enclosure and the WD Box today, HDD should be here Thursday. In the meantime, anyone know what the highest quality format is for DVD rips? I was thinking MK4. Either way I have a ton of ripping on my hands to do. If I had to guess I'd say I have over 100-150DVDs to rip. But it'll be nice to just be able to pick in a library of what I want to watch.

I may get a BlueRay DVD Rom and another enclosure to Rip Blue Rays.

considering you as well are a linux user as well, i think its important that you read this: http://bluraysucks.com/ sony and the MPAA are stealing your right to play movies you own on free, open source software, and for the time being, i am boycotting them as well as many other people.

martini there are always ways around that, and I'm sure I'll find a way. If you notice a lot more DVDs are coming with "Digital Copies" And data is always data, no matter what encryption or whatever is on it. There are ways of breaking it.
