n-Vi?

Because Naim have stopped making it.

Really?

That's a remarkably short lifespan for a product that was launched with so much fanfare just a few years ago.

(And I'm not sure why this thread has been moved from the main HiFi Corner site, which rather defeats the point of my opening a new thread there.)

2006 it came out and was left standing within weeks with HD then Blueray.
It was out of date when it came out.

Stu, couldn't Naim have introduced new software?

Or is that what we have to expect in whatever succeeds the n-Vi? Do you have an indication of what that may be?

You might want to go to the Bristol show.
Naim have the whole 4th floor.
Have a chat with the guys.
You can see where they are going with the three bits of kit that have come out in the last year or so.
Its the digital age, Store and stream/beam or what ever you want to call it.

I havn't played a DVD in around 2 years now, only ti rip it.

What software do you use to rip the DVDs?

RipIt on Mac, then I use DVDsONEx to extract just the film from it. Its not converting the format so is pretty nippy at around 30mins a disk to process. I usually land up at a car booty come back with 10 DVDs and start the process on my three macs to have ten films in within a few hours.

XBMC handles the scraping

Well, unlike the AV2, I can't say I'm sorry to see the n-Vi go to history...The service department probably isn't either !

What I do find interesting is the activeness in which Naim are stripping the AV products from the website () , which hasn't been the case with previous withdrawals...i.e SL2, n-SAT stands, even DBLs are still up there !...Perhaps a raft of products are indeed imminent or....that's that.
