Yes, and have the ability to watch the ones you have on your computer. The UI is slick, so that is why I'd want to watch them via MP rather then search through imdb.com or otherwise.

Fremake video converter is the best one i have used, uses cuda if you have nvidia graphics as well, video can be edited inside the program to cut out adverts, and will then do batch encodes to iso, or single to burn dvd.

I am putting together an HTPC and obviously plan to install MP. I've been reading quite a bit on these forums about the many hardware configurations and options available but unfortunately I am still a bit confused on what I anticipate is a simple Directv (satellite) config. Here are the basic questions. Do I need to have two...

Hi, The most popular codecs seem to be the Win7 DVD-Codec and a codec pack known as SAF 6 (see here for SAF 6 - you will need to PM Hoborg to unlock it) If you use the SAF6 PDVD11 codecs you should ensure you have allowed the codec to use the GPU - see the codec settings in MP Config.

While looking in my TV recordings folder one day, it occurred to me that the xml files in there were responsible...

Try it with a disabled FW to rule that out. I think you need to open up a larger range of ports as the ports will differ.

Ah yes makes sense - is the not-skipping from recorded TV not solved yet in 1.2.2 seems like that's been around a long time now - still not a biggie. I'll give it another go and see how it works then if your having success with it - I'll do the same and remove post processing from BBC programmes.
