What program are you using to rip to MKV?

I still use TVersity. For some .xml rss video feeds, it's easier to put them into TVersity than it is to make an .opml file for PlayOn, plus ps3media server will not allow me to create my own video feeds like TVersity does, unless I'm doing something wrong...
For the rest of us, excluding John of course, didn't we have to pay when the next version of Windows or Nero came out? John must be super lucky to have bought Windows 95 and then never had to pay for another major release of Windows again. Windows XP for free! Windows Vista for free! And when Windows 7 comes out? Wow, that must be free also!

From playon themselves:



"It means... what it says, really. Your license for the current versions of PlayOn will never expire. New features that we add to PlayOn over the next year or so will be free. But if and when we create a new major version (again, probably about a year from now), we may decide to add new functionality that won't be available in the current version line. And we may require folks to pay a new license fee or upgrade fee of some kind to enable that new functionality.

But any bug fixes and patches to maintain existing functionality in the current version line of PlayOn will be free. In other words: you may need to pay for getting new functionality that comes out in approximately a year from now, but not to be able to keep using the functionality of the existing PlayOn."


I just get tired of hooking up my laptop to my TV all the time. I used to do that before Playon. But everyone has their own choice, just like some people have the choice to be a douche on forums such as these.

We will be releasing the plugin API very soon (in the next few weeks) at which time anyone will be able to write new
PlayOn plugins.


Thanks so much for contacting MediaMall Support. And - thanks for using PlayOn.

Doesn't work. States I need to update the plug in.

USA has some great shows that I finally get to watch in HD. Awesome!

Lifetime is something I'll never watch.

CNBCHD is something I'll never watch.

Except for the Olympics of course.

I wonder if Cox is still going to be adding more channels by the end of the year, as they promised. Their promise is no longer on their website for Arizona.

I hope that after Arizona gets the VOD service that Cox will be spending more time on their HD channels.

The only other HD channel that I want right now is FX, only for Nip/Tuck and The Riches, and SCI-Fi HD - only for BSG which is not on right now anyways.

CNN HD and/or MSNHD would be nice.

Should I use IFO or ISO mode on DVD Dycrpter?

I just want the movie, not the extras, on one file that I can play.
They are now holding back on the 80 by the end of the year. They switched it on their website to 60 by the end of the year.

What if we have to add different tiers to get all 60?
With if this 60 includes premium movies channels?

That would suck!!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
