Just use YAMMM, I run it on my media server, once setup (which is easy to do) it real time monitors your media folders and will (if setup properly) create XML metadata, download folder.jpg coverart, and title your folders and files corrrectly. It works beautifully on my setup and works great in tandem with Media Browser. However if you're wanting to just use WMC for movie management it creates all the Metadata that WMC will need (including for the new Win7 metadata requirements) very small program, runs as a service and is insanely fast!

I moved away from "My Movies" a long time ago to YAMMM/Media Browser, ultimatel you get a much much nicer and more customizable interface and you're not having to have a machine running a SQL database to support all the metadata.

Try Media Player Home Classic, BTW are these 1080p files or Blu-ray disks?

This tutorial is great, even though it saids H.264 it did help with DXVA on my Blu-ray's aswell.

Thanks for the website, I'll try again in a couple of weeks. I was using mpc and I just have 1080p files, for blu rays i just use ps3 because i heard of some issues with players and software conflicts.

Sorry I'll post pictures soon, I just have my pc in parts at the moment trying to fix it up and another pc.

I just moved so bare with the rough setup. I have not yet set up my surround sound and the tv will end up being mounted on the fireplace. I have the mount, just need to get the time to do it.

Specs in my sig. I will be upgrading it soon as I'm having issues with BluRay playback. Going to a tri / quad core and 4850.

@ MudFrog, your 920 can't handle Blu-ray?

you should be able to handle it easily, After following that website that AMG gave me i was able to get 1080p to run on a AM2 3800 single core + ATI 3450. It ran alot better then what it was before and with more tweaking it would have ran just fine but that was just to test it out. I had issues with powerdvd playing bluray playback, and it was all software. Good luck and hopefully you don't have to upgrade if you can find a simple software solution.

EDIT:

Ok bare with me, I had a issue with a hard drive and i was doing some hardware swapping. That is why my PC isn't in my tv stand. I would have gone LCD but for the price of this DLP i could not turn it down. Paid $2000 last year and what really got me interested in it is that it can do 3D with the PC, so that is just something for the future. I'm really having a hard time getting the right software for me but I believe once i downgrade my CPU ill have an extra mobo so it will become the server which will cut the sound/heat but a huge factor.

Its connected to 5.1 sound, **** speakers but good enough for the room. I usually have my 360/PS3 hooked up to that but ps3 got moved so my mom could listen to radio and 360 was elsewhere at the time.
