[QUOTE="mfearby, post: 177299, member: 55931"] Hi. I've just installed Media Portal and it works a treat. A couple of simple questions, though: 1) is there a way to copy a file from the DVD drive to the hard drive using the menu system? I'm asking in the hope that I can do away with the noise of the spinning drive whilst watching an AVI. 2) is there a menu option somewhere to get Media Portal to completely shut down the PC? I'm also using a Microsoft Media Centre remote control (just the cheap variety). Media Centre plays AVIs with a 1" thick black border around them so I much prefer Media Portal (especially with it's screen calibration set to 1.35 that compensates for my 1024x768 plasma's horizontal pixels stretching the image!). Thanks muchly :-) [/QUOTE]
