Recently came across Easy Real Media Producer, and tried it with a couple of Divx files. Was quite astonished at the quality of the results and the file size. Quality was almost indistinguishable from the original and the file size was about half of the original. Before anyone goes off the deep end about the iniquity of Real...

I just bought an Wifi photo frame from momento (momento 70) - primarily for slideshows in my living room. But as it is also (and I believe the only) Slideshow device, that may be the perfect remote display for MP ;_) I bought it for just €99,- at a german internet shop (Digitaler Bilderrahmen, Bilderrahmen?query=Bilderrahmen: i...

I've had a closer look, and it appears that the remote uses a microcontroller with built in NV ram, so I'd say that the storage of the RC codes are in the NV ram, which is why draining the cap doesn't clear the settings. Drainign the cap obviously just reboots the MC. I've got a bad feeling that perhaps the NVRam in the MC allows...

MP1 MP2 ReplayTV PC EDITION (1 Viewer) DE
You didn't say anything about the "Surprise Me" feature. It lets you tell the channel guide that your favorite leading man is, say, Russell Crowe, and the device will record anything in which the A-list Aussie appears. The same goes for your favorite directors or entertainment genres. Then it also watches if you tend to stick to a...

That's pretty much FAQ #1 I have yet to find a good / intuitive solution (that doesn't alienate power users). 1. When you say "script" you mean "format" or "naming scheme" right? Because there's...

I've found that if I wake my PC using the power button on the case I don't have this problem, only if I wake it by pressing a button on the remote. It's a shame not to be able to wake it this way but at least I've found a workaround that avoids having to go through all that palaver each time I wake the PC.
