.dvdmedia extension: NAS to play videos on PS3 or w/DirecTV HD DVR tuner?

[bozz2006]

Hello, I am using Ripit to copy a bunch of DVDs and using Toast 8 Titanium (ancient, I know) to burn backups. I'm doing this for my kids' (ages 3 and 1) DVDs, as they have a propensity for handling and damaging the originals. I'm using my 2011 MBP to rip, and am storing the ".dvdmedia" on an external HDD for burning later on.

So, I got to thinking, since I'll have them all stored on the hard drive, is there any way I can just connect this hard drive to my wireless network to play on my PS3 or my DirecTV tuner? I also have a Roku 2 XD in my basement connected to an old tube television, and I really like the interface. I'm thinking about putting one on my main TV, too, so I don't have to mess around with the PS3 when viewing shows on Netflix streaming and Hulu Plus. So if I can't get this to work on the PS3 or DirecTV tuner, would it work with the Roku?

If it matters, the HDD is formatted OSX Extended Journaled. Thanks for the help!!

Anybody? Just looking for a good way to wirelessly play ripped movies in my home. My router is an Airport that's maybe three years old, it has USB so I have the ability to connect a HDD to it. I have a PS3 upstairs and a Roku downstairs. Thanks for any help.

if the drive is hooked up to your mac, you can use serviio to supply the feed. works with ps3, xbox and directive hddvrs (its what i have)

If you convert the movies using Handbrake to mpeg4, you can play them on a PS3 no problem. The ps3 can not play raw DVD data.
