serving up a dvd collection 'on demand' (w/o the discs)

[Douglas J Hunley]

Anyone seen any articles/pointers on ripping one's entire DVD collection to a 
PC and then making them available to the TVs in the house on demand?

I'm thinking of building a MythTV-like device so that anyone in the family 
could just use the tv to browse the dvd collection, click on a movie, and 
bam.. it's served up from the pc in the basement to the tv.

Anyone seen anything like this?
