Will this work - Mounting DVD image from network drive.

[nedfats]

I currently have a rather extensive DVD collection. I'm frustrated about the amount of space it takes up and I want to get rid of the collection - but at the same time I'd like to maintain the features and quality of the original DVD's. Would the following solution work - has anyone done it before:

1. I will back up all of my dvd's without compression. The files so far have been bewteen 4-8 gigs.
2. I will purchase a few network terabyte drives
3. I will then network those drives and use my PC's to mount the dvd's and play them

Couple of specific questions:
1. Currently my 300 gig external hard drive does not except single files larger than 4 gigs, is that normal? Will the same thing happen with the terabyte drives?
2. Will I be able to mount a 8 gig file from a network drive and play it without performance issues? On wireless?


Thanks!

1. Make sure your drives are formatted as NTFS and the 4Gb limit will vanish.
2. You should have no problems as long as your wireless connection is OK and you don't lose data streaming.
