Does anyone know of a media extender that can handle a ripped HD DVD? I know there are HD media streamers out there, but I don't know of any of them thant can handle the HD DVD codecs.

I have the Dlink Media Lounge and although it works VERY well streaming standard copy DVDs I have had little luck streaming HD DVDs. Problem is you need to keep the file size below 3GB and its really hard to do that if you want a high quality rip of an HD DVD.

If anybody has found a work around here, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks.

bing, I have the DSM-520, not the 750. I'm not sure what the difference between the 2 will be as the 520 is HD capable. Maybe the 750 can exceed the 3GB limit, but if that's so, I'm thinking the 520 can be upgraded via firmware.
