[QUOTE="FlipGer, post: 19457, member: 10293"] Hi, as far as i can see in your sig, you already have a mainstream computer. ;) Analog TV: Hauppauge PVR is the way to go. 500 for multituner Graphics card: Most devs have nVidia based cards (5xxx and above), but an ATi Radeon (9xxx) does also work quite well. Ram: 512 MB plus OS: Windows XP + SP2 (MCE seems to cause trouble) Sound: Do not know, onBoard should be enough in most cases. But i like my Audigy ZS 2 :) Codecs: As minimal as possible. Best is to use only those from MP for MPEG (TV, DVD, Movies) and ffdshow for the rest (DivX, XviD, AC3, Ogg, etc.). CVS: is a work in progress! And especially at the moment there a big changes, so do not wonder, that some "releases" (CVS) do not work. Flip. [/QUOTE]
