Anandtech has an excellent article comparing 4 bottom end GPU’s for HTPCکے. The article is extensive and does a good job of explaining issues of framerate timing, cadence detection, telecining and pulldown as well as comparing the 4 GPU’s. As we don’t believe in reinventing the wheel — we recommend anyone building a HTPC setup read the article before setting out.

Dual-Tuner Mini-ITX Build?
After discussions on a [intlink id=“919” type=“post”]recent article[/intlink] I wondered if it is possible to build a set-top box sized HTPC with dual-tuner cards inside. To achieve set-top box size means going Mini-ITX, but with the release of a range of Mini ITX AMD Fusion boards this is the easy part. Mini-ITX normally only includes 1 expansion slot, so to include 2 tuners requires a creative solution.

Blackgold: The ultimate TV tuner card?
Whilst looking for drivers for my Pinnacle 3010ix freeview tuner I noticed Blackgold have a new ٹی وی tuner due on the market. The Blackgold BGT3630 looks provisionally to tick all the boxes for me. It supports DVB-T/T2 AND DVB-S/S2 as well as Analog and Cable DVB-C! So everything and the kitchen sink. The card is also supplied with low and full profile brackets and fits a PCI-E 1x slot. I suppose the only thing lacking is that it seems to only be a single-tuner for each format. Of course 2 cards solves that (if you have 2 pci‑e slots free in your HTPC)

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 (مثلا. 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

MCEBuddy دوبارہ: H264 WTV تبادلوں
I have wanted the facility to convert my recorded WTV files to another format for as long as I’ve had a MediaPC. The lead candidate has always been MCEBuddy, لیکن زیادہ کے لئے 2 years the project was stalled (as far as the user was concerned at least) by problems supporting h264 video inside wtv files.… مکمل مضمون پڑھیں

LAV — A new splitter
A new directshow splitter has become available. If you’re not happy with the offerings from Haali and Gabest then you might like to try LAV. I haven’t tried it myself yet, so I can’t currently offer any more information. It does mention splitting wtv files though, so I will be trying it in the near future.
