The popcornhour box to get is the C-200. It does an excellent job playing back BDs that have been ripped. It does full 1080p with lossless sound via HDMI. But, it is not like a GoogleTV box or Roku box for watching stuff over the internet. It really is specialized to playing back local (LAN or attached) videos, not surfing the web. I do not see netflix any time soon on it. I love it because I can watch any BD, DVD or HDDVD I have (getting close to 500 now) without having to get up and find it and put it in a player. I can simply move it to any TV in my house and all my movies follow since they are served off a fileserver in my basement.

AnyDVD is the only program I use to rip BDs.
