Calling all MP New Zealanders (Both of you!!)

[littlematt]

Hi guys Ive just posted in the hardware selection help forum
The perfect HTPC motherboard?
Not to doublle post but I know you fellow kiwis are always willing to help, and guess some of you dont read all the forums . If you can help me find a MB please have a look at my post for what Im after. Got quite a list of fussy specs as Ive had my HTPC for a couple of years know and pretty much know what I want. Might be asking too much though! Anyway have a look and any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt

Have been thinking exactly the same thing. Haven't tried it myself, yet, but AutoGK will accept *.ts files. Just have to work the best edit method for ads.

Here's the thread I got it from.

But then again, you might not be that simple. I tried it but the demux asked me to check the PIDS as there was 'no data'. Tried to manually select video & audio but with no success. Could it be due to the fact we use H.264 as opposed to MPEG2?

Ah, compression: =smaller filesize=more HDD/DVD space.

One I would be thinking of would be MP records C4 to a .ts If I want to grab a music video clip for my iPod it would need to be cut and converted maybe to mpeg2 or AVI or directly to mp4

Yea I get that but I just couldn't think what you'd want to keep long term off TV, to make the long compression process worth while. I guess music videos but it seems like a tedious process. There used to be a compress option in MediaPortal but did they take it out?
