M700 Newbie question

Hi.

I have a question about the M700.

Let's say I have hundreds of Blurays in the vault, and they are imported to a Kserver.

When I decide to play movie 'A', does the bluray of movie 'A' in the M700 vault have to go around in the carousel and end up in the M700 optical drive to get recognize that its in the vault before the movie will play?

Similarly, if I have a script with a scene on movie 'A' and another scene on movie 'B'. Does the bluray discs for movies 'A' & 'B' have to load into the M700 optical drive so that it gets recognized before playing from the Kserver or does the M700 just let the Kplayer know that the discs are in it, so it's okay to play from the Kserver?

Thank you.
 
The M700 keeps track of discs that are loaded in the vault. When you play a movie it does not have to load and read the disc in order to play it.

It is the same with scripts. I have scripts with scenes from ~ 100 different discs along with scenes from HD downloaded content. When I play the script I can see no difference in the time it takes to play a scene from a disc compared to a scene from a downloaded movie. It is approximately 5-7 seconds between ending one scene and the start of the next scene.
