The UI is very slow (jerky), my PC .. with Intel G33 Graphics & 2gb RAM running XP
|
MP-II requires a graphics card with at least 128MB memory and pixel/vertex shader model 2 support
Anything less will make it very slow
We will add a check for this in the next release so MP-II wont run on under-spec system
About the CPU requirements, if you have a graphics card like above, then it runs very smooth & fast even on a 1.4GHz Pentium with 1GB ram

2) The refresh rate control is welcomed but omits the colour depth from the menu options
|
We will fix this

2b) Could you possibly interface with powerstrip to offer more discreet refresh rates than Windows offer
|
This could be done by some 3th party plugin. The basic MP-II package wont include support for interfacing with
powerstrip

3) There are no options to use FFDShow as the h.264 or Mpeg-2 decoders, can this be offered?
|
Yes we can add those

4) The default I believe should be to change video rather than PIP.
|
We noticed this too and it will get changed

5) Everything seemed to have a settings, rather than offer all settings in one place.
|
Everything has settings yes, where these settings are presented is up the to skin-designer
He/she can put them all in 1 place, or place them in those screens where they are needed

6) The graphics seem to low-res
|
The current skin is optimized for PAL TV (720x576)
I hope that we can deliver a HDTV skin also with the next release

7) Media locations seem to insist on local folders
|
Yep network folders are supported if you map those as local folder, but UNC paths are (not yet) supported

>As far as the general look and feel is concerned, I can't say I preferred it to MP1
|
That was not the intention. Its a alpha-preview release and certainly not meant to replace MP-1
at this stage

>Regarding point 3 and codecs in general, have you discussed and ruled-out a VLC-type approach
|
Yes we have.
The VLC approach is ruled out simply because it does not use h/w accelerated video decoding
That said, MP-II is opensource so anyone can make a 3th party VLC-plugin if he/she desires
