I have 2 PC's networked together, 1 of these has a dvd drive, I would like to be able to watch films on the the pc without the DVD drive from the other pc over the network. I have tried sharing the DVD drive on the network but no playback software will recognise this.... any ideas ????
I think CSS must be network-drive-unfriendly some how. Others seem to also be having the same problem as yourself. You could try ripping the DVD to the HDD (it's a bit of a pain, huh?). Anyway, the folks at VideoLAN have a solution for doing exactly what you want to do, and they have a Win32 client/server as well, AND it's all free: http://www.videolan.org/ Oh, and make sure you're using 100Mb ethernet, not 10Mb (you probably are anyway, right?).
