[QUOTE="xenon2000, post: 8776"] I agree, HDTV will become very affordable and popular within the next 5 years as you stated. And PCs are only getting cheaper and cheaper. I think MP is definately moving in the right direction for HD content from PC to flat displays. I first posted this thread because of my search for the perfect media portal on my 500 mhz custom picture frame. Which has become a very popular item in my TV-less family room that we often entertain guests adjacent to the dinning room. Obviously this was never the intent of MP, but it made me realize how much CPU it used compared to other MP-like apps. I look forward to the opensource progress that MP will make into the HD and widescreen content of the future. I will re-begin my quest for an MP-like app for the picture frame and will continue to use and enjoy MP on my HTPC. I am glad that most of the comments in this thread were focused on the discussion of CPU processing optimazation. And to also help define the main intent of the future of MP. I don't expect such a young application to be perfectly coded and I am glad that people are upfront enough to admit imperfections and to take comments constructively. Great discussion people.
