Should I include screenshots? The problems is some applications have different themes.

in my search for information about hd dvd/blu-ray playback in mce, i cam across the arcsoft total media theater software.

http://www.arcsoft.com/products/totalmediatheatre/

besides supporting bd and hd dvd, it supposedly integrates into xp mce 2005 and vista mce. it is about the only player to integrate into the mce interface.

actually, you may want to make a separate section for blu-ray/hd dvd playback. you can put powerdvd 6 and intervideo on it as well as the arcsoft application
