Making home Media Center a few questions.
Don’t know were to start.
Here is what I’m tring to do. I have just set up a 4TB network raid 5. Now just ordered rest of parts to make media pc for living room.
Media pc will only be Q9650 on asus striker extreme with 4gb ram have two nvidia gs8800oc cards SLI Two 1tb drives Mirrored. Just want to use this to access movie,video,music,photo collection off of network storage.
I have a lot of questions and have been looking around to find some kind of guide to help with setting this up.
1) Best format to burn DVD too, and what software is the best. We have over 100 dvd movies and tv shows want copied to network drive so everthing is in one place.
2) Kids have music video’s in .mkv can see file names in WMP,WMC but no thumbs can I get thumbs to show up for these. Or I’m I better off converting these to different format??
3) Best converter program that will handle everything and best format to store converted files to looking for good quality at best compresion rate.
4) Remote controls for WMC. To put in new pc..
