[QUOTE="revs, post: 393558, member: 42810"] Basically MediaPortal will play anything that WMP can play. So first thing - can WMP play these avi files? If not, the easiest codec solution is ffdshow ([url=http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/]ffdshow tryouts | Official Website[/url]) - with that installed most things should play. For the ISO files, I believe you need to have DeamonTools installed so that it can "mount" the ISO can play the file. As for using Winamp/VLC for playback - I see no need, as everything is playable internally, and if you use an external player then you lose out on all the simplicity of a media centre - i.e. jumping back and forth between the external application and MediaPortal all the time, no inbuilt on screen controls and so on. Also - does your current GFX card meet the requirements? DirectX9 and 128MB Graphics Memory? [/QUOTE]
