I've recently bought a NAS, and as well as the usual data storage uses it has Twonky media server built in. This is useful for streaming music to my digital music player. But I've also just hit upon the idea of backing up my DVDs to it so that I can play them on the big TV with a PS3. The actual mechanics of doing this was far harder than I first imagined, but this software seems to have it all worked out, and I've read some good things about it. I think I'll give it a go. Here's what it has to say about itself.
