i dont know in which language i have to type,,,
Let me try again,,,

keeping the ISO format is for those who like the menus and bonus's and stuff,,,
Things that XBMC will never play,,,
Things = BD menus
not because it can't,
but because XBMC would have to become a PayWare,,,,,
You need a license for playing BD menus,,,,

i think you are completely miss-understood me my friend. i said i'm one of those people that like to rip my bd into iso because i want to preserve the original bd contents (menus, bonuses, etc). xbmc pre-eden in my signature is not a payware, and it can playback bd iso without any payware. it can playback bd iso without any external player either. if you go to my signature and try it for yourself, you'll find out what i meant. who know, you might like it too!

i got your point since your first mentioned it my friend, and please do not jump off the bridge. i know that xbmc doesn't support bd menu and xbmc by itself is not natively support playback bd iso. i'm try to point out that, even though pre-eden doesn't support bd menu, it is capable of natively playback bd iso with hd audio without external paid ware. if i want to playback iso with menus and other goodies, i have tmt5 for that purpose!

i never said anything about XBMC not being able to play ISO's!!

i only specified that XBMC cant play BD menus!!!

check second line of your post #23, and that is what i tried to get my point across about pre-eden can natively playback iso by itself. i think that we might be talking about two different things here.

i don't want to take away op thread, and i wish op the best with his quest. if you need more help, you can always come back here!

Thank you for that. That is def an option to consider now.. I believe Synology devices can run sickbeard and couch potato and SAB as well am I right on my assumption?

I don't know precisely for sickbeard, CP and SAB. You'll have to chck out as I don't use them. I know though that you can install packages in the DS211j. But wht packages I couldn't tell.

you'll have issues fitting your SAMSUNG optical drive in there

Guys, I'm glad to say I got it all put together and it all fits. Thanks for all the feedback

However I have one issue, Windows 7 is not recognizing my GT430 graphics card, I have updated all drivers for MB and Windows and still nothing. Has anyone encountered this problem before?
