[QUOTE="ObiYawn, post: 267432, member: 73988"] [b]HD_Starter script: 1) For NVIDIA cards 2) Start playback of disc automatically[/b] I made a few minor modifications to the original HD_Starter script. These can be summarized as follows: 1) The original script allowed switching ATI cards between regular (i.e. 50Hz) refresh rate and 24Hz refresh rate (the latter being better for playback of film-based content on supported displays).

This assumes that you have already inserted the disc before starting PowerDVD. 3) I am not hiding MediaPortal upon launch of PowerDVD anymore. I wasn't happy having to see my desktop background while it took PowerDVD some time to launch. Additionally, I am starting PowerDVD using "RunWait" instead of just "Run". This will (purposely) disallow any further actions in MediaPortal while it takes PowerDVD a few seconds to start up. All changes to the original script have been bolded in the below code.
