This is phenomenal!
I was able to set up my standalone dvd player at home to send signal to the VHS, then to the video capture card on my computer... and the computer use windows media encoder to broadcast the dvd movie over to my ipaq using wireless...
Now, i just have to figure out how to access my lan computer from a remote location through the firewall.

must..break...through....firewalls!
sounds like port forwarding is needed... time for some network reading

wish me luck!
