[QUOTE="animus, post: 746246, member: 113213"] hiya i am thinkin for building up my very own htpc and before i do that i am considering of trying out the softwares like mediaportal or xbmc I use a 17" laptop that is 3 years old (4 in july) and i was watching movies and other staff with it.Now i am thinkin of buyin a desktop to act as a htpc/internet combo.As i searched about it i found out that there is no need for high end systems.which is like big big plus for my wallet. Since i know that i am tryin on those sofwares one of which is mediaportal. I am new to media centers but not to video players.My current set up (as software) is (for x264 videos) Player: Kmplayer Codec :Core AVC (pro version,pirated kill me!!) Renderer:Overlay renderer. works like a charm.No tearing or studdering what so ever. I have a nvidia geforce 8600m gs video card.Which in his web site says has purevideo but i dont know the generation.There is some tech called Cuda which gives coreavc an edge (less cpu use) Here is my configration (i took it from my post in some other forum to take care of the tearing problem found out just needed to change the renderer to overlay from vmr9 but still the same configration) if you need hardware specifications.
