At the moment I am compiling my Audio & Video collections into
NAS that allows me to play anything from a HTPC on my Gigabit
LAN ( or any other computer ). I am using DVD storage as a
backup for the most part now. I am using x264 AVC/H264 in
"Main Profile" to store full D1 resolution video at a rate that fits
about the same 10 or 11 episodes in the equivalent space of a DVD.

It is also in files with an "AVI" extension. But your last paragraph
makes no sense. You obviously do not understand the meaning of
the term "AVI", and have given it a new meaning all your own.
( And what the heck is "1/2 CD resolution"?)

Luck;
Ken
