Well, my win7 beta is finally expiring so I'm going to have to wipe and start from scratch. I'm considering xbmc (have been using mediaportal) but have a few questions. Most of my mkv's have the hd audio converted to flac- I realize that xbmc supports flac, but do you still have to tweak to get the full hd goodness? For example, with MP I had to use madflac/reclock- will xbmc "just work"?
One more question for those that have done it- how much of a beating is it to get dxva working w/ an ati card / dsplayer? One of the reasons I'm considering xbmc is if its faster to get up and running (mainly flac/dxva) but if it's the same or even more involved then I'll prob just stick with trying to recreate my mediaportal setup. Other suggestions very welcome also..
