I am usually pretty good at figuring this stuff out. But, I finally want to use a system like Vista Media Center. I usually just use MPC-HC and coreavc.
Here is my hardware:
Q6600
Asus P5B
2GB PC2-6400 DDR2
Palit 9600GT Sonic 1GB RAM HDMI out
Chaintech AV-710 SPDIF out to receiver (anyone using the input on the Palit card above to pass sound with HDMI?)
TV is Samsung LNT5271F 52" 120Hz LCD
I am running HDMI out on 1080p/24
Software:
Vista Ultimate 32-bit
PowerDVD 8 (for DXVA support on mkv x264 files)
I have downloaded MyMovies and an ArcSoft TotalMedia Extreme Trial
I really just want to play mostly x264 mkv files with HA and some xvids (If I could use different players and/or separate them so I can use ffdshow on the xvids that would be great, but not essential right now). I want to have VMC as the frontend and it looks like I want MyMovies for the disc images and info etc.
Anyone have a tutorial for this or some tips? I can't figure out how to choose what is playing what.. I just get not supported in VMC and choppy playback in TMT.
