Hi guys

I have just got my HTPC built and am in the process of installing Media Portal.

Is there a list around that shows what extra programes/ codecs are needed.
I have a few problems when trying to get media portal going

Followed the instalation guide but seem to be missing stuff I have bought power dvd 8 and have a Hauupage dvb-s card which picks up all the freesat channels and plays on its own but dont get any picture or tv guide in media portal.

Also want to transfer all my dvds to the medai portal and can play them using a player (forget the name now as I am at work) but not in MP it will play some movie files but not HD ones

I am sure these are small problems but finding it hard to make head or tail of the settings

Sorry if I am being vague will post up file extentions I can play when at home but a list would be very helpful

Thanks
