  • Hmmm... I guess it would require me to remake some of my files -- I have everything in .mov containers (even WMV), and it seems to only support H264 in .mov. Could be worse though... at least I wouldn't have to reencode. Amorya
  • Oooh, that looks quite promising. Has anyone used one? How reliable is the SMB connection? (I.e. if the computer it's connected to goes to sleep, can it pick up where it left off when it wakes up again?) Amorya
