Unsolved: Decoding interlaced vc1 in Media Center x64
Whilst my MediaPC setup can decode just about everything thrown at it, I have had problems decoding interlaced VC1 content. The problem is caused by the failure of ffmpeg to support interlaced vc1. Whilst there are other codecs (e.g. cyberlink or arcsoft) these are currently not available as x64. Cyberlink do have an x64 codec for h.264 and mpeg2, but I haven’t been able to get it to work with VC1 content. Hopefully ffmpeg will fix interlaced vc1 support soon, but as its been on the to do list for over 2 years I’m not holding my breath

Full Flac support in Media Center x64
Following on from an [intlink id=“40” type=“post”]earlier article[/intlink], I have been continuing to work on getting my music collection working in Windows 7 Media Center. The problem I have had is that although there are codecs from xiph which support playback of flacs in 64bit players ([intlink id=“14” type=“post”]see this post[/intlink]) there are (as far as I’m aware) no tag extenders compatible with 64bit. After banging my head against a wall for ages I eventually had a breakthrough.

Firefox 4 — Final (but not x64)
ਇਸ ਲਈ, Firefox 4 has finally launched! Sadly Mozilla have dropped their promise of an x64 release of Firefox 4.
If you’re a Firefox user I recommend upgrading, if you’re not then I suggest giving it a try.

Copy files from Humax PVR 9200T to PC
I own a couple of Humax PVT-9200T dual freeview PVRs, both of which are now quite full with recorded programs. Humax have provided a program called eLinker, but it isn’t very good. A good alternative is Humax Media Controller but unfortunately it doesn’t work with Windows x64, as Mike Dimmick explains. Thankfully, Mike has also created a solution by patching some of the files, so that Humax Media Controller can now be used successfully in Windows 7 x64. The only issue is that Windows must be booted with Driver Signing Enforcement disabled.
Update Apr 2024
Mike’s site is still up but the link to HumaxPVR.zip that he offered is now dead.
I found a copy of Humax Media Controller with Mike’s driver added that I downloaded and e‑mailed to someone around 14 years ago still intact in my old gmail and have now rescued it.
