Low DVD and Media Center TV Vol

I am having a volume problem with DVD movies and Media Center, particularly TV. Sound quality and volume in other applications is great, but if I try to watch TV or a DVD at the same settings I can barely hear the audio.
I have a new Dell XPS 400, running Windows XP Media Center 2005. I have an Audigy 2 ZS soundcard and Dell 5250 5. surround speakers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you should also look through the TV@nywhere forum, applies to all MSI TV Tuners
i think the first thing you should do is update your TV tuner drivers...

Mac mini server and media center

I recently purchased a Mac Mini Server for a few reasons. One being to put all my music, video and photos on it and play it on my TV via the HDMI cable. I also want to share that music, video and photos with my wife and my daughters over the network.
So mainly one video, music and image library shared with a MBP an 3 MB's on my network.
Also most if my video is from our iPhones.
I'd also like to put all my home movie DVDs onto the server as well.
Ideally all the data on the server can be played on the TV and all 4 Macs at the same time and it will be organized and easy to access.
Any ideas of what I should do? I know iPhoto won't let more then 1 user at a time have access so that's out.
If you have any ideas that would be great.
Thanks,
Darren

iPhoto should really just be for still images. I don't think the automatic media scanner expects to see videos there. (This would be true of most 3rd party media center applications).
For further assistance, you might wish to consult on the Plex Forums on their website. I'm sure your feedback there would be appreciated.

video doesn't display video on media center screen
what nvidia drivers are you using here? need 53.04 or later for MCE support
does any video play, Live TV, DVD, other video? make sure you have a compatible MPEG2/DVD decoder installed (PowerDVD 6+, WinDVD 6+, Nvidia PureVideo Decoder etc)

Backing Up my DVDs to Media Center Library

Hi!
I'd like to backup my DVDs to my Media Center library, so they are safe and sound.
I have a handicapped son who is frequently in the hospital, and likes to watch movies on my laptop while there or waiting for doctors appointments. It would also be convenient to have them on my laptop for him, as well as just to keeping them safe from him! :-). BTW I'm using a HP Pavillion DV6-2190 with Media Center Windows 7.
Can anyone help me with what is the best way to get the DVDs into my Media Center DVD library? Also, it would be great if I could make copies of the DVDs so I can keep the original and give my son a copy in case he damages them.
Thanks for any help!
Lisa

Yes it is. Basically, what happened was, I plugged my phone into the computer, clicked transfer purchases after iTunes came up, it had the loading bar and the message said "waiting for changes to begin" or something along those lines. I just recently tried to transfer them again, it went farther this time but now it is just saying "waiting for items to copy"
I am signed in with the only account I ever use to purchase anything with.

Mega 180 and Media Center III----looks perfect----is it??

I DON'T want to shell out $1000 for cheap HP/Compaq or whatever which includes Media Center Edition
But I DO like the look and features of Microsoft's Media Center Edition.
In the Manual for the MEGA 180-----Media Center III looks perfect for what I want.
Am thinking of a Mega 180 using onboard video, the MSI TV/Tuner Card, onboard SoundStorm---and a cheap Barton. I already have 2 x 512 of NVidia recommended PC2700 RAM for use with the onboard and almost all other parts----but by the time I'm done----I'd be shelling out around $400
The manual makes everything look good "on paper"----but I see from this forum their are "issues".
Did/does MSI support the 651 model well?? Bios updates----utility and driver updates??
This thing looks like a tremendous alternative to a Microsoft Media Center Edition overpriced machine. And I'm willing to do driver updates and Bios updates----heck, I love a challenge----I just don't like a product that lies about what it can really do.
Worth it----or should I pass.....
Thanks-----John

That may not be it----it may just be a TV setting----but it's the only thing I can think if.
Good Luck,

I believe that function is only for viewing the videos from the preview window to fullscreen. I don't think it enables/disables "stretch mode" but i'll try that tonight.
if it works i'll post it here. if not ... well .... same thing i guess

SRW248G4P and media center extender

I have a SRW248G4P 48 port POE switch and a few DMA2100 Media Center Extenders all hardwired. When everything is connected to the switch the extenders cannot connect or be detected by the Windows 7 Media Center PC. However, when I switch all of the cabling over to the 4 ports on the router (RV042) everything connects and operates as usual.
Any Ideas as to what the problem my be?
Thanks,
Aaron

Did you assign static IP address to your Media extender? If not that may be the reason why it is not working. This is because, RV042 has DHCP capability that assign IP address to its client. On the other hand SRW248G4P doesn't have DHCP capability and if you connected your DMA2100 devices to the switch it will not get any IP address to be part of the network.

Bootcamp and Media Center 2005

I have a full version of media center intended for any pc and whenever i try to install it on my macbook pro via leopard, the entire install process will go through, but after install i boot to windows and i get a disk error. Any ideas. I was able to install this exact same OS via the bootcamp beta, and even after the upgrade to leopard, the MCE 2005 os worked. But after i did a comlete os install of leopard, i can no longer use leopards boot camp to install this os successfully. Any ideas, or where can i get a old copy of bootcamp beta?

I just installed Windows w/Media Center 2005 on my iMac core2duo 2GHz 2GB ram with Leopard two nights ago. I received the same issue on my first install attempt. Boot camp creates a Fat32 partition, so I used the convert to NTFS when I installed Media Center. I thought it worked until the restart. I had to reformat the partition NTFS and install again. This time with no problems.

FIOS and Media Center

My Media Center PC has lost the TV signal, and will not configure. TV tuner card supports digital tv, card is working, and replaced the cable, but still no signal. Verizon support wasn't terribly helpful - any ideas? Could the switch to all digital last month now require a converter/set top box, even though the tuner card says it supports digital?

The over-the-air FCC shut-off boxes receive 8-VSB DTV and convert it to NTSC. FiOS boxesreceive 256-QAM DTV and convert it to NTSC. They are absolutely NOT the same. On the bright side, up to three are free from Verizon, AND they receive any SD signal you are subscribed to on your regular STB, not just the Off-Airs and PEGs. It is a GREAT deal. Get some before they start charging. I think they will just send them to you if you ask.

XBox and Media Center on Boot Camp

My PC just died so I installed Windows 7 on one of my macs and really all I use it for it Windows Media Center to stream movies to my XBox 360. I went through the windows 7 install and all was good. When I tried to get my XBox to see the media center, it would not see it. Is this just not compatable?
Thanks,
Andrew

I tried doing a search and found nothing. The link you gave does not help either. I know how to set up the xbox as an extender. Was working fine when I connected it to a Dell with windows 7. Now that the dell died I moved windows 7 to my iMac with boot camp. Now it will not connect. I try to connect but I am never given a code. Its like the xbox doesnt see the computer. Is there something extra I need to do being that this is on mac hardware? Is it just not compatible?

PSE 8 and Media Center DVR-MS files?

Though familiar with image editing in Adobe PS from 4 through CS, I am new to video editing and looking for the ability to edit the nearly 1TB of tv shows I’ve recorded with HP Media Center. Presently, my main interest is to edit out commercials and save (MPEG2… or better?), take brief sections of streaming video to edit to use in sigs and also capture single frames for captioning in humorous forums (any extra editing capabilities would be a plus). Was told by Abobe software advice/sales that that PSE 8 could read my Media Center DVR-MS files so I downloaded the trial version. When I click on ‘Get Media fom – PC Files and Folders’ the only files that appear under ‘All Supported Files’ are the ones I previously edited with my Sonic DigitalMedia Plus v7 and saved as MPEG2 movie clips and when I switch to ‘All Files [*.*]’ and select a DVR-MS file get ‘Error – This type file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed’. Now either I was given misinformation by the rep or I don’t know what I’m doing (which is most often the case).
Though my SDMPv7 is easy enough to crop out crap and capture stills, it takes about an hour to save a 2.5GB edited file to HD, was hoping for something faster. Might just be my old HP AMD 64x2 – 2.2 GHz 2MB, 1024MB 400MHz, 400GB internal HD can’t save it any faster.
Also, apparently Media Center will only play DVR-MS files and though Windows Media Player and Realplayer will play MPEG2’s the fast forward and reverse options are not functionable.
Any help/advice (other software?) is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try downloading the trial version of PRE and then import the file.PRE has more video capabilities than PSE

Problems w/ TV Tuner Card and Media Center

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem:
I just installed the FX5200 TDR-128, with the TV@nywhere card, and the Media Center Deluxe II. I can't get the tv stations to work in MCD II. It works great with MSI PVS software that came with the TV Tuner card. When I go into the "Watch TV" menu of MCD II, it brings up the tv screen but it is all garbled or sometimes a blue screen. I changed all the settings to the appropriate formats and it even has the channels that were scanned in the MSIPVS program. Does anyone know what is causing the channels to not work in the Media Center Deluxe II? Also there is a switch on the VIVO connector that has two settings "Safe" and "Work" what does this switch do? I can't find anything on it in the manual that came with the video card.
P.S. The remote works great.
Motherboard:KT4V-L
CPU: AthlonXP 2400+
RAM: 512Meg DDR400
Video: FX5200 TDR-128
OS: WinXP

Check out the new release 3 upgrade here
It has solved almost all the problems described here. Just came out today too.

MEGA MPC 800k and Media Center problems

Just upgraded to the MSI MEGA 800k replacing the noisy old bax I was usung for my Media Center PC.
Currently having a TV recording issue. the system performs perfectly well recording if left alone, and you can watch the program being recorded without any problems either. However if the live TV is paused or I watch another program whilst recording the recording develops a stutter that makes it unwatchable.
After trying many fixes suggested by Media center forums, I think I've narrowd it down to one of 2 issues.
Either the HDD cannot handle all the the simultanious reading and writing required. (Seems unlikely as the system could manage it and the only difference was a seperate HDD for the OS)
Or its a conflict between the AGP graphics and the PCI TV tunner. Both are set to IRQ 15, which while this presents no conflict to be reported in windows I suspect that having to share the IRQ is causing the two cards to interupt each other and cause a stutter on the recording.
Is there any way to change the IRQ assigned through windows XP?
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks
Neil

Using an ATI Radeon 9550, latest MCE drivers.
After switching to a SATA drive and creating seperate partitions I have reduced the problem to a point where it only stutters occasionally. But I would love to be able to change either the PCI or AGP IRQ allocation to see if this eliminates the problem. Any ideas?

TV@nywhere and Media Center

Does the original TV@nywhere (Not Master) work with MSI Media Center? I get nothing but a blue screen on the TV while MSIPVS works fine.
If anyone has it working, what MC version? What settings?

Hi Bas,
thanks for your answer.
DVB-dream is a software to view tv on your PC. I want to watch blueray, radio, tv, watch pictures,... -> HTPC.
For this MCE is a nice standard software. I thing the problem is not MCE but MSI! After the message "... no signal.." the MSI software have to be start under admin rights to work. For me this is a hint to a bug in the msi driver.

Ipod Shuffle and Media Center PC

All of my music is loaded onto my Media Center PC. How do I transfer from Media Center PC the songs that i want on my IPod Shuffle?

I'd don't know what versions of iTunes support the nano, but if you've got that, sure. If you'd like, you should be able to have both iPods at once:

Good luck
