I tried Plex. No joy. Still lagged and had audio issues. KentState... I will look at what you have. Couldn't I just stream direct from the PC to the WDTV's? My Blu-rays are .m2ts files. Should I be ripping them as ISO's?? And do you know if the WDTV will stream the .m2ts files (I...

Current CPU is a core 2 2600.

I have a HTPC, and have had moderate success streaming from it in the past. I want to do some upgrading and start a whole new approach and am looking for honest NO LAG solutions. Here is what I have: HTPC Motherboard: EVGA nForce 730i motherboard http://www.evga.com/articles/00435/ CPU...

Thanks for the input. PS is an ANTEC true 430. I can upgrade if needed. I run to an Epson 8500UB to a large electric Daylite screen (can't remember the diag on it.... but measures like just under 14ft across). I run HDMI from the HTPC to a Surround receiver. Then HDMI video out to the...

Does anyone have an opinion on what is the best CPU price/performance at the moment? Say keeping around $200 for the cpu. Looking at the i3's now as well. I am looking at the ASrock mb. Any particular reason you like that board over say an ASUS? I'd like to stay with a full size ATX board...

Thanks for the input. Yea.... best bang is kinda wide open I spose. I will look at those video cards. And lower powered CPU's. I wanted to put together a system that was getting the best performance for the buck. For instance if the cost difference from an i5 vs an i7 was not much...

Hello all.... I have not been on for like.... a VERY long time. I used to build and overclock many years ago, but have been out of the hobby for awhile. I am wanting to upgrade my HTPC and am looking at the below for best bang for the buck with a little lean toward just have to have it...

To rip the Blu Rays... I am using DVDFab6. Works perfectly and I don't need to run the ol AnyDVD, and the slew of other programs I used to run when ripping DVDs. I can rip in either ISO or .m2TS, etc..

Fallen Kell.... how you like that 9.9??? I was looking at getting one of those. I currently run my sound through a Sherwood preamp to a surround of Def Tech speakers and am very happy.... but can't get the pure audio like you are getting. I think I will pop for one of those soon. That and...

OK.... I have everything tweaked perfectly now. The programs TMT3, Media Browser, Metabrowser, and Media Center are all working in harmony and I am WAY stoked. I have (2) 2 terabite drives and I have a dozen or so Blu Ray movies ripped so far. They are playing perfectly using the .M2TS...

I have a question.... what does TMT3 mean when they tout that the software makes 2d DVD's play in 3D???

Ok.... I am making progress. Everything is working as it should with a few exceptions. First.... I can not get TMT3 to play ISO's. So I have to DVDFAB6 those into .mkv files. Not too big of a deal as I have a small collection at this time of Blu Rays only in ISO. Maybe I need to tweak...

Ok.......... got my fancy pant program Media Browser back in business on Media Center. Now. What do you use for Blu Ray rips??? I have my Blu Rays ripped to ISO. BUT.... low and behold.... TMT3 Does not play ISO!!?? Or at least not the demo version. So. What is a good player that...

Anyone know how to get around a problem I am having? When I install TMT3 it replaces my Media Browser Icon in Media Center. I removed the NEWS icon, so there should be room for both TMT3 and Media Browser. How can I remedy this? Thanks

What a PITA. Can't someone just come up with an awsome suite that catalogs our movies like media browser, plays them in media center and be done with it? Now I have to load Media center studio.... and try to get my media browser back into Media Center. It still shows under Media Center...
