[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 812932, member: 75318"] Hi JJayzon, I use Handbrake, and I find that it is a bit trial and error, but I do find it flexible in the settings you can change. It is probably best to set up some custom 'templates' so it is easier to use. I use a 47" LCD so I am conscious of the rendering quality, so just tend to reduce the bitrate. I was recommended Handbrake by a couple of other forum users. It may help if you search for Handbrake using the forum search function, it will probably turn up a lot of posts. I use three dual tuners in my setup, so I can receive satellite and terrestrial broadcasts. I put TV Cards in so I could tidy up the whole TV stand - it enabled me to get rid of the DVD Player, set top PVR and SKY TV satellite box. I now just have the HTPC box and a Surround Sound Receiver and just one remote control. Additional advantage is the ability to stream HD TV ( along with all other 6Tb of media) to the bedroom and kitchen clients without having to pat Sat TV provider for their bespoke box. HTH, M.
