But you've got that big ol' HDTV.... :mrgreen:
Yeah that helps, but I won't lie to you man. I don't necessarily watch everything on my TV...although I would certainly like to. :) Unless the file has the subs embedded in the video (i.e. hardsubbed) or I can otherwise stream it successfully from my computer using a media server application, I still watch stuff on my computer. Sometimes when I try to stream a file with a separate softsub file the picture lags....
Of course I could burn stuff to disc to watch on a stand alone player, but truthfully I haven't done that in a long, long time. I guess I've gotten lazy in that respect. Moreover, I'm tired of managing tons of disc...it gets to be nuisance after a while.
Just archive my media files to an external hard drive and be done with it.
Having said all that I'm thinking of getting the necessary hdmi adapter so when the aforementioned tricks don't work I could just connect my laptop to my TV and watch stuff on my TV which would be ideal.
