You have two options
  1. Clone the DVD in its entirety -- so everything is preserved
  2. Rip the DVD to some suitable container (MP4, DIVx)
I would personally go for the latter, and in fact is what i am doing. MP4 is a pretty good format in terms of quality and has the additional benefit that most devices will accept MP4s as is (iPods, Zune, etc)

As for file systems the ideal would be FAT32 as all OSes read them natively, But FAT32 has problems with files bigger than 2GB. What you could do is use any native OS file system on the storage (ext, HFS, NTFA) and then avail the files as a share using SAMBA.



Rad!

By availing the files via Samba shares, what device are you using to play them? I guess some computer running some OS.
Suppose I'd like to be able to play the files using a TV with supported interface, or a DVD player with such capabilities, what equipment (in the current technology market) would this be?

Hi Wash,

I believe this can be of assistance to you. http://tinyurl.com/yefbky3 I think you might have to import it though. I don't know if there are alternates.
Else you can just use a moded xbox(seen it on the old one, I'm pretty sure the 360 can do it too) if it will support the drive(not so sure about TB Hard disks)

Regards,
