What I want to do is be able to rip my HD, BD and SD DVDs to the HDD. I know that I am allowed one back up of them and this would be the back up. I know that talking about how to do this is chances are against the TOS and I'm not going to ask about how to do it. All I want to know is will I be able to do what I want to do.
I saw on newegg a combo drive from LG that will play HD and BD DVDs. I plan on getting it and a large HDD only I'm unsure as to how large of one Windows will recongnize. I have heard their is a limit.
I also want to be able to send the video and audio out uncompressed so I will need the cards to do that. I'm lost on this part. I want one that will be able to send the video out at 1080p for my tv so the content is still in HD. For the audio I want to send it out in what ever quality of audio is on the disc. So if it is True HD I want it to go out in True HD to the reciever. I want the reciever to be able to decode what ever audio is sent to it that it can decode. I know that if my reciever is not able to decode true HD then it wont be able to however when I get one that can I want it to be able to. Are their cards that can do this or can I even do what I want to do?
I want to do this so that it puts less on my discs and chances of them getting scratched are lowered. I am wanting to do this for back ups only that will be how I watch my DVDs and own all that will be placed on to the HDD. I am not asking how to do this or if their is software to do this. I just want to know if the hardware is out there to do this and what I need when it comes to the sound card and video card. I'm sure the sound card and video card have been posted in a sticky but I have little to no clue as to what I am reading or much at all as to what I am doing when building a PC for this.
