While we do not recommend using it, as MCE remotes are supported out-of-the-box by MediaPortal, we acknowledge it can be of great help in some situations. You can find the source code on GitHub. Using this tool...

Hi. The easiest way to have 100% match for movies is to use the tt number as video name. E.G. a video with name tt0111282.mkv is 100% secure identified as "Stargate (1994)" MKV-Buddy renames the finished videos automatically to your like, so this input- name is no problem at all. Series are a bit more to do. You need a sub-folder for...

The actual Avidemux version can handle h.264 TS quite good. Unfortunatly, cutting function isn't frame accurate. Only I-Frames could be used.

Hi. There is a new version of Media-Buddy available today, 1.3.0.9 In addition to a few bug fixes, a new feature is the ability to create mappings for age ratings.

Doh! "For firewall I use Avira Free". I of course meant "For anti-virus". I'm not particularly keen on MSE (as Owlsroost says, it's not very configurable) and I've only used it in the Virtualbox guest as Avira is incompatible with that and causes it to BSOD and fail to boot!

Hi All, I've just installed PDVD9 Ultra (after getting a new HD TV). Blu Rays seem to work fine, although I have no idea if it is using DXVA (CPU usage ~25%).

I use h.264 1200 kbps for SDTV (720x575 px, 25 fps), 2-pass VBR. But you can go down to 1000, still works very nice. For 720p I would use h.264 3000-4000 kbps VBR (1-pass average or 2-pass) at 25 fps (depends on the source, 24p, PAL/NTSC). 720p has about 2x more pixels than SDTV, so it should work at 2400 kbps above.

Glad to hear it. Nothing major from me. The only settings that might be useful to change at some point after are the language flags or the name of each track at the mkv merge stage.
