Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System?

An anonymous reader asks: "I was paid, with about 1000 DVD movies, by a video rental store that owed me money and then subsequently went out of business. I'd like to rip a couple hundred of them to a 1 TB disk array, and serve them up to my big screen, via a video on demand system. However, all the systems I can find for interfacing computer network to the plasma display only serve up the basic MPEG files, and not the entire ripped DVDs with their menus, etc. What systems would Slashdot readers suggest that could manage the ripped DVD files as a complete disk, and serve them up?"

    Wouldn't you have to circumvent CSS encryption and violate the DMCA to do this?

    That's true. In fact, just pointing to a DeCSS scheme violates the DMCA. Three days after the shutdown of 321 Studios, that should be perfectly clear. The discussion here itself violates DMCA. I'd like to see that worthless unAmerican law crushed because some moron decides to shut down this conversation.
