Just a thought: you might want to keep the files at decent to high quality incase you get a better TV in the future. It would be a drag to have to re-spend the time getting the movies onto the discs - it's considerable. Invest in a DVD-ROM drive known for DVD5/9 speed - this will cut ripping time considerably. Many Lite-On models are...

You said, every DX9 Card is supported by MP. The question ist, how i connect the PC to my TV. I don't know if my 6600GT is HDMI ready. I want to connect with an DVI to HDMI cable. I ask that, because some new GPUs have HDMI output. But my 6600GT have no HDMI. Only DVI and with an extra cable YUV (i think...

I moved my faster PC to be the MP box (see my system on left) and use a PIII 500mhz and remote access software to use the faster PC when I'm not watching TV. When using the machine remotely it "feels" just as fast as using it locally. I tried the PIII 500mhz as the MP box with a TNT2 32mb video card and it was close to what I needed...

I had this behaviour way back in the past when installed some codec pack.
I hope you didn't install any codec packs. This messes up your HTPC really good.
If you install a good MPEG-2/H.264 decoder(for HDTV) like cyberlink powerdvd and ffdshow for the other codecs it's enough play play almost anything!

The Mediaportal has a standard External Display plugin with a lot of predefined displays. Did you check this out already? In Mediaportal Configuration go to plugins and enable & config External Display.
When I look at the case, it looks like the HD44780 display. Try this out!
If none of these are working, try searching on girder...

Bioguyer, you may want to choose a TV with plenty of extra digital inputs, and a VGA input can't hurt. Otherwise, the same criteria you would use to evaluate performance on television and DVD's would be the performance criteria you would use for a tv in an HTPC setup. Choose the resolution that best supports your needs for watching...

I've been looking for similar functionality...but I think what I'm going to end up doing is ripping DVD's to mpeg2's with full quality, and joining the mpeg's for multi-disk titles. I loose menu navigation/chapters, but until there's a workaround.

In MP configuration, television item, look for the Channel Numbers section.
"Select Channel Number by index (non-U.S.) should be CHECKED in most placed outside the U.S. where channels are just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... If you are in the U.S., CLEAR this checkbox.

also make sure you have the latest version of vs filter.
This solves 80% of the trouble people have here with playing .mkv files. If this doesnt solve it then follow the great codec guide(s) posted here on the forum recently.
