Thank you, I started to make a build log, but they bore me so much to type up. I have a couple pictures, but they aren't really much, just me gluing the motherboard standoffs to the inside of the case. I also took one of the dremel cutting, but yeah...boring.

Anyways, My HTPC is in my sig. It is very poorly put together it was just spare parts to get it going and within the next month im going to downgrade the cpu and get a new mobo which will cut the noise/power/heat. I should be getting a 780 mobo and with that I won't need a video card.


I use Windows Vista ultimate, and i use mediabrowser, it gives that dvd cover art when browsing.

I have been thinking of switching to linux but its a pain and too much work for something that I am unsure of what I want.


That HD3450 should do 1080p fine, what software are you using? I think all ATI 3k cards have UVD+. I actually have a friend with a 2.oGHz P4 and a HD3450 maxing out 60% CPU usage when playing HD 1080p

Unfortunately it's not automatic and it doesn't add metadata (info about each DVD, like plot, run time, and so on). To get Media Center to show the box art here's what you do. Locate the folder where the ripped files are located for the DVD you want to add the box art image to. In that folder copy the box art image (get it online) and rename the image file to folder.jpg. Then open up Media Center and it should show the box art now (sometimes you have to open and close it a couple times before it will show the first time)

Or the program "my movies" just point it toward the folder and it finds cover art, actor info, synopsis and more from imdb and add is all as you add a folder. What i do is just point it toward my folder and when i add new movies i drop them in and it finds the artwork for all fo them automaticaly.

Its a AMD 3800+ AM2 single core, Asus ati 3450 512mb, I just tried ffdshow and coreavc, and it wouldn't make it run better.

Should there be different software that I should be using? I tried searching the net and could not find any info on it so I just gave up and found a temp solution.
