    you can't use IrDA adaptors for remote controls. I can't read much of that site you linked to, but the fact it mentions SIR etc means it is an IrDA connector.

    Your best bet is to get an MCE controller. They are quite cheap and give you a LOT more as well (blasters, well designed remote and USB receiver).

    The extra money will mean a lot less heartache and frustration trying to get a cheaper receiver working...

    Maybe they only show the bits information for the x64 version and no bits information for the 32-bit version?

    MP1 MP2 recording video DE
    VLC has a browser add-on that allows you to start a video selected in your browser in VLC, you then can use its record button. Doesn't always work though, my guess is it won't on protected vids but it is the only thing I have found other than the excellent download capability of Online Videos when available.
