I run Twonky 5.1.4 on a ReadyNAS NV+, this I chose because I understood that this version connects well with Linn DS and Plugplayer for music. Indeed it does.
Yesterday I hooked the TV (SONY Bravia with an ethernet connector) to the LAN, and I could see the TM icon there under videos. I purchased AnyDVD and started to copy (Clone DVD) to my NAS. That worked and the files seem to end up on the NAS. I scan the directory for movies in Twonky, restart the NAS. On my TV I see a huge number of files, that seem to play well, but of course I do not want to start chapter by chapter (and witout subtitles or possibilities to pause).
Is there a reference to how one should set this up, or ideas on what I could do?

Re: Newbie movies
Rather than creating DVD images, you may want to encode the DVD into MP4 or MKV, or whatever format is supported by your clients. I personally use Handbrake for that step.
