I'm actually lucky, I have a simple to use video Camera, I have a little JVC Everio with a 20gb Harddisk. If my wife plugs in to her PC via USB2 it simply opens the autoplay dialog as it detects the HD on the Video Camera as a drive. I then have her 'Pictures' folder on her PC redirected to the Home Server so when she imports it simply goes directly there. That enables her to play straight back from the TV :)

Hey Steve love the videos. I was wondering if you can give an explanation of how you upload your videos off your vid cam so your wife can do it in easy steps. I am looking for the same things so my wife can upload videos of my kids to my WHS.

Thanks

Yep I saw this :(, I made a post on my MCML blog earlier about it, I'll probably morph it into something else and I'll release it as that instead. Ideas welcome :)

I already know which is next, I'm just trying to work out how to get it past my wife. She doesn't quite understand the whole english facination with time spent in the bathroom ;)

So the next installation will be in the "smallest room in the house" - must be last one left now - you're knocking them off one by one

Love the flip down screen

It's actually running wireless and yep it is the 2100, just the right size for tiny space I had available :)

I've been wanting to do this for sooooo long and it's always taken a back burner, it was nice to finally get it done.

The Mounting kit is a Peerless RTLCD-100S - 10" to 15" Flip down rotating mount. These are the specs.

Accomodates VESA 75 and 100 hole patterns

Weight capacity: 10 lbs.

Features 110° of tilt and 180° of swivel

Cords can be concealed within the mount

For comparison I paid about $70 for it inclusive of postage. I didn't have any connections to get it for cheaper than anyone else, so you should be able to find it around the net for that price :)

Very nice! That looks like the linksys 2100 extender (hardwired and not wireless) right? And what tv model and mounting hardware did you use?

I've been wanting to do a similar setup in my kitchen, and seeing this is very motivating!
