Hi,
Am considering swapping over from PC to Mac (after 20+ years of PC!). I have terabytes of my ripped DVDs, blurays, TV shows etc sitting on a Netgear NAS box. Currently I use a Netgear NTV550 for streaming the media to the television, but not sure I'd be able to continue this method if I went the Mac route.
On the Netgear, the interface allows me to browse through the folders on the network, eg:
Video
-->Movies
----> Bluray
----> DVD
-->Television
---->TV Drama
------>CSI
-------->Season 01
---------->CSI SE01E01 The Pilot (avi, mkv, etc)
---------->CSI SE01E02 Episode 2 (avi, mkv, etc)
---------->etc
I guess my question is, if I was to convert my entire collection to iTunes friendly format, how would the user experience be, on the Apple TV interface? Are there any example screenshots anywhere?
Appreciate any help you can give...and please be gentle, long-time PC user tip-toing carefully into Appleworld...
Cheers,
Gareth
