    I'll get a 404 error trying to access the URL through a web browser. Try it in Boxee.

    Default Better Option

    Now my concern is; am I shooting myself in the foot? Would it be safer to keep them in ISO format for future compatiblity reasons? I know it's easier to burn a disc with them in ISO format, but I'm trying to get away from all those plastic backup discs. In XviD format I can easily double my storage capacity.

    What to do?
    I am also using ISO's to XviD format with AutoGK , is there any better option available ?

    What's interesting is using the same hardware playing the same video on boxee on windows 7?

    There's a workaround, but it involves purchasing a Roku.
    Boxee Box > HDMI > HDTV
    2 x HTPC (boxee 0.9) > HDMI > HDTV
    2 x 8TB NAS
