Hi,
In the movie section MP configuration go to Movie Database,
do your settings, go to Scan and scan your media folders.
After that you can start MP, go to Video section and switch the view e.g. title.

This would indicate that the RTSP Stream creation on your Server PC is faulty.
The MP instance which is installed on the ServerPC, does not connect to an RTSP Stream. It just uses the *.tsbuffer files that TV-Server writes to your disk.

have you tried ebay.com.au?
Im in Aus, and picked up a hauppauge 1100 for $40 - its a great card. There's usually lots of good cards going cheap on there.
Also, staticice.com.au is a good resource for picking up cheap hardware in Oz, esp sorting by price and location.

In the settings for the viz, I unchecked show status messages, and I don't get the spawing message.
As far as fullscreen in WMP, I found if I reduced the viz window size to 1280 x 768 it would run FS in WMP. At 1920 x 1080, it blew up.

The mechanism for traversing backwards through the directory structure is not consistent.
When you get to the point that you're showing a list of videos, you have to click the top-most bar in list mode. In folders that don't have items in them, the "backward traversal mechanism is an icon for going to the parent directory.

With .m2ts remuxing you are better off using a program called eac3to (forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125966) and using the command

this will remux the movie as is to a matroska container.

You should be able to run MP over a wireless network without too much trouble. I was able to stream Divx, .TS, and TV to one of my Tv clients using just 802.11g with AES encryption enabled. I recommend that you run Vista (or Windows 7) since SMB2.0 is much better at recovering from brief network outages on a wireless network.

Yes there are various aspect ratio settings you can use. Which ones you use are all accessable from MP Config.
How you select them will depend on what your using to control your HTPC (Remote, Mouse, Keyboard) I have mapped a button on my Logitech Harmony Remote to rotate the aspect ratios when pressed. To do this via the menu, play...

Well I think you've answered your own question about doing a transcode at the server from mpeg-4 to mpeg-2. If you're buying video cards to do mpeg-2 HA, then you might as well get one that does mpeg-4 HA as well. All the entry level ATI cards do it now. I thought your point was that you wanted to avoid buying new hardware by doing a...
