What is the best mpeg encoder for Windows Media Center 2005? I have a VBox Cat's Eye 150... They suggest Mainconcept Mpeg encoder for MCE, but I was wondering if there was a better / free alternative?

So apparently Shuttle, http://us.shuttle.com/G5_3300m.aspx, and HP, http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2007/05/hp_goes_into_dualformat_territory.html (not sure about this one...) are selling dual format drives for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. Where are they getting these drives?

What's going on with these HD DVD and Blu Ray drives? Why are HD-DVD only external, and why can't I buy a combo HD DVD / Blu-Ray drive that some PC manufacturers (Shuttle) are advertising in their new computers?

My media center PC has a 8600GT, connected to my 37" flat LG HDTV via component at 1080i, and I'm having a bad problem with video tearing. It only happens with videos decoded with ffdshow in windows media player. Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Is there any way to take line out / optical out / SPDIF out from a PC add that audio signal to an HDMI cable?

KaLogain posted:How do you guys access folders and files from another vista computer from your vista htpc. I've shred the folders, and I see them on the network in the "folder" for the pc, but I can't go into the folder, "access is denied" I've looked and I seem to be doing everything right, I've created a user account for the htpc on the computer the files are on and it doesn't work. Any Ideas? I've had all kinds of problems like this. In addition to the permissions set correctly and the group 'Everyone' being allowed, check the security tab of the drive / folder you are trying to share and make sure Everyone is specified in there as well. Stupid I know, but it took me 2 months to figure this one out and would have saved me a lot of headache had I known this... Edit: VVV That was my thought as well... until I found the above mentioned. Try it. VVV Treytor fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Nov 11, 2007 |

Does anyone in here have any experience with the Origen AE S21T case? I have 2 of them and was having an issue with the TFT touch screen. As you can see, when I set it to 1920x180 in clone mode, I get these black bars on the left side. No adjusting can fix it, either. Any ideas?

Mike Toole posted:Hey, what's the story with that newfangled HD-DVD/blu-ray combo drive that everyone's trying to get? Is it still backordered to hell and back? I've got my media PC, it works awesome, now I just want one of these drives and a Radeon HD to future-proof myself. Has anyone gotten one yet? Any known issues? I have one and it does exactly what it's supposed to. The software solution to playing the content is still very new, as Cyberlink Power DVD Ultra Deluxe super edition is the only player I know of that properly plays Blu Ray / HD DVD discs. Other than that, it works great.

Vista's Media Center looks nice, but I really don't need anything to do with television, recording, etc. I have a fair few DivX files and MP3's that I'd like to easily access, as well as games that I'd like to play on my TV. http://www.mediacenterguides.com/index.php?title=Menu_Customization This tells you how to remove the stuff you don't want from Vista's Media Center.

Bender posted:This might be a related question to the one above. My first guess would be the processor, and then the video card. Try ripping the DVD (using AnyDVD) to your hard drive and then play it to ensure it's not your external drive having trouble keeping up, which I doubt. Currently only PowerDVD Ultra 7.3.3319a or earlier will play HD movies off the hard drive. Newer versions have disabled that feature.

Bender posted:It was my processor. The 3700+ is just under the limit that PowerDVD can work with, apparently. This should be okay, but I would get an extra case fan just to be sure. Take the dead fan off to allow for a little better airflow over the northbridge.
