I am looking at purchasing a Dell XPS420 w/ VMC SP1 and Dual Cable CARD support with the hopes of connecting as the sole sorcce on my Main TV and that using Extenders on My other TVs (all hard Wired).
I have some questions about VMC as it seems there are still many issues that have not been fully resolved.
1. Can DVD and Blu Ray rips (using AnyDVD) play back seamlessly on a VMC Server? On a VMC Extender? (Yes, I saw the thread refering to PowerDVD from 2007. I was wondering if any improvements have been made since that 2007 post). Also still wondering about this issue with extenders.
2. Are there any goo applications available for commercial skip on VMC files?
3. Are there any applications that can automatically convert VMC files to a format other media players can play, such as Popcorn Hour? If I were able to use Popcon Hour on VMC files, than I would have a single unit that can play BluRay Rips and TV Recordings.
4. Does VMC limit recordings to a single hard drive?
5. Any idea if the Motorola MTR700 or Cisco STA-1520 tuning resolvers will be compatable with the ATI Digital Cable Tuner for resolving the Switched Digital Video (SDV) implimentation by some cable companies?
