My Movies for Windows Home Server provides automated disc copying of Audio CD's and movies from internal or USB attached optical drives, adding meta-data to copied discs, or movies and TV programmes already stored on the server by monitoring your shared folders.
Audio CD's can be copied to various formats such as Flac, MP3, MP3hd and WMA, or a combination of two formats if you prefer a high quality lossless file as well as a small lossy file for mobile usage. Meta-data is downloaded from multiple internet data providers, and embedded into the files with both data and cover art, allowing you to browse and play the files from units such as Squeezeboxes, Media Centers, mobile devices and similar.
Movies, (DVD, Blu-ray and HD-DVD's) are copied* to ISO or file format, or DVD's to MPEG-2 format for Media Center extenders. Meta-data is downloaded and added from My Movies own Web service, and stored in the folders, making the data available for Media Center's DVD/Movie library, XBMC, TViX, Netgear EVA, Dune, Popcorn Hour and other units or movie front-ends.
Movies already stored on your Windows Home Server are identified by the monitoring feature, and meta-data is added automatically. Downloaded meta-data is in the same way as when copying a disc made available to many different playback units and movie front-ends.
Should you need to edit the meta-data, the data for Audio CD's can be edited directly from the server console, while movie data can be edited by connecting a My Movies Client, or changed to other titles if needed.
* Due to legality in several countries, My Movies does not backup copy protected discs. Users in countries that allow circumventing copy protections when backing up their movies can install SlySoft AnyDVD or AnyDVD HD directly from the console, to remove these copy protections.
