[QUOTE="bigdude, post: 191244, member: 57287"] It is an excellent changer and at the current price it is probably the least expensive direct connect unit out there. I should also mention that it is Firewire ONLY. This device has no front panel or video outputs, it is NOT intended for use with a TV or anything other than a Firewire 400 equipped Computer. It works very well but it is big and quite noisy when changing discs (which is why remote control is important). Most of my work has been aimed at building a media library in the basement that I can use throughout my home... Needless to say I ran into every possible technical impediment, but I am now getting close to what I had originally planned on. MCE was not viable and MythTV drove me nuts (enter MP), streaming DVD content proved problematic (enter network shares), no software to handle the changer outside of MCE (have rolled up my sleeves and am making my own).
