HOW-TO: Turn your Mac mini into a media center
Posted Jan 25, 2005, 1:24 PM ET by Barb Dybwad
Yep, everyone's talking about using the Mac mini as a home media
center, and there's a reason why: its diminutive form factor makes
it a good candidate to fit unobtrusively into an existing audio/video
or home theater setup. It looks more like a consumer electronics
device than a computer, so it won't look out of place in your living
room. We think of it as the central brain of our system; the glue
that holds all the devices together. It can serve the role of
scheduler, controller, audio/video recorder, audio/video playback,
audio/video download, and it even makes a decent audio/video
production unit, as well. You might not win the next Sundance with
your iMovie, but you sure can impress everyone at the next family
reunion.
So for this week's How-To we'll cover the various aspects you'll need
to think about when planning your Mac mini media center system,
plus show you how to control your Mac mini headlessly from any
computer in your house--there's no need to BYODKM; just BYOB, pop in
a DVD and enjoy your HDTV, OK?
