I wasn't sure where to post this so sorry if this is the wrong spot. Anyways, my brother is going off to college in about a month now and asked if he could take a lot of our DVD's to his dorm with him. This got me thinking on how I could use his old Windows Vista PC as a "media server" so we can both stream our DVD/Music/Photo collections from anywhere we want. I've been looking at Plex but I want to make sure it works for my needs before I commit a lot of time to burning our DVD collection or does anyone recommend a program besides Plex? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Before you go and try and set everything up, have you checked that your home internet connection has a fast enough upload speed (not download)?
Plex should do what you want though, take a look at this guide.

Should be fine for standard definition as long as nothing else is uploading, 720p may be pushing it.
