Hello guys!!!

I have around 500 backed up movies from my personal dvd collection inside my pc.

Does anyone knows a software that " emulate" or actually act as a video movie server in my pc???

What I am thinkink of is something like a software that allows me to see all the movies (maybe separated by categories...) I have stored, choose one of them , and load it to watch it.

Thanxs in advance

You don't say whether you are on a MAC or PC

if you're on MACINTOSH, the newest APPLE COMPUTERS are USING SMART FOLDERS in OS X that will allow a FOLDER placed on the desktop to automatically contain any movie you ever make on the machine (or transfer to it) by being a "SELF - UPDATING" folder.

also new APPLE's have a sort of HOME THEATRE organizer built into OS X 4.5 (or such)
This "FRONT ROW" application organizes any video put in a special folder called "MOVIES" that has already existed in the MAC USERS FOLDER in OS X.
Using a REMOTE supplied with the computer, you can play all your movies without a MOUSE (using the remote)

how have you backed up them? avi, dvd-video folders,iso files?

media center tools can automatically categories files on your hd...like for example Media Portal, SageTV

gb-pvr w/ movies plugin would also be a good free one to check out.
