Maybe it is easier to build an HTPC and rip all your BRs to the hard drive. You will need massive storage though..

Blu-Ray Mega Changer
I was wondering if anyone has heard of a Blu-ray Mega changer or if anyone has built a blu-ray mega changer?
I have seen the VAIO HTPC changer, but the changer itself is not blu-ray. I would think it would feasible to build one assuming you could find a drive that would fit into a changer with the same power needs and I/O.

I was going after that as well, just thougt of HD DVD drive rather than BD.
It appears that due to some HD DVD/BD DVD structure differences it will not be possible.
Binnerup, the developer of My Movies pointed it out to me in this thread: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...php?p=10270859

Way too much space needed. I do not need instant playback and would prefer uncompressed. For me, going to optical makes more sense.
If I could however download an uncompressed HD copy of a movie to my computer from some movie site and keep it, then I would consider circumventing disc all together and up my storage. But that is not the case right now.
Storage is getting cheap.. but not cheap enough compared to optical.

I am not talking about compressing, but an actual rip (exact copy) of the HD-DVD or BluRay via AnyDVD HD. I am following this way since the hdisks are cheap nowdays..
