(i.e. not the standard Windows 2 ft interface, but specifically designed for much larger displays) It had some added functionality over the normal Media Player in that it could show a slide show of pictures, video and be controlled via a TV style remote. Windows XP MCE 2005 and MCE 2005 Rollup 2 added to the features, allowing radio, pictures and stored videos over a network share to the media. MCE 2005 also introduced the hosted HTML application framework to Media Center. This allowed third party developers to improve and add to the functionality of Media Center. MCE 2005 was basically Rev 2.0 of Media Center What is Windows Media Center Today? A totally unified multimedia/digital media experience Available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate Editions Integrates functionality with other Windows Vista and online components Computer‐based home entertainment system Consistent, easy to use 10 foot and 2 foot interface What is new in Vista Media Center?

  • I Had the Same Problem, Again, Recently and the K-Lite Codec Pack Didn't Work for Me Either
    I had the same problem, again, recently and the k-lite codec pack didn't work for me either. I am running Windows 7, and got my DVD's working with Neuroguide by downloading the codecs from http://www.windows7codecs.com/ I went there and found that they also offer a Windows 8 package at http://www.windows8codecs.com/ You may want to try that. -- Jim Friess Sorry to be late in posting about DVDFab. There is a free version which I find excellent. I copy all DVDs (often double density DVDs are needed), and never have difficulty. The copy only includes the movie so there is no ploughing through warnings and adverts. The copy works equally well with Neuroguide and Brainmaster DVD players. Google “DVDfab free” to find it. Atholl Today at 12:40 PM Hi, Here are a set of instructions that completely fixed my problem. This is compiled from several previous threads, mostly from Nick Dogris. I have included links, and several folks have had their problems resolved using the steps below. Hope it helps: 1. Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 … This link will give you all the details. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-assistant- download-online-faq ($119.99) and Windows 8.1 Pro (199.99). This link shows you a comparison of the features in each…http://windows.microsoft.com/en- us/windows/compare. Note: 8.1 Pro does not come with Windows Media Center, you still have to buy the “8.1 Pro Pack” detailed in #2 below.

  • Windows XP Media Center Edition Vs Apple TV
    Windows XP Media Center Edition vs Apple TV Apple critics tried hard to pretend that this year’s Macworld was a huge disappointment because no new Macs or iPods were trotted out on stage. Of course, these same critics have also long lambasted Apple for not offering a "true video” iPod, nor a handheld mobile, nor a Media Center Mac, nor other copies of Microsoft strategies. What they failed to catch at Macworld was that Apple has leapfrogged Microsoft's consumer electronics efforts with just three simple product introductions: . •the iPhone makes an absolute joke out of both Windows Mobile phones and Windows Media players . •the new AirPort Extreme offers an obliterating alternative to Windows Home Server at a fraction of the cost . •the new Apple TV slingshots a rock right into the forehead of Microsoft’s Media Center PC Apple recently commented that it would not be immediately releasing any more new product categories, so it’s time to sit back and watch the fireworks. Yesterday's Windows Home Server vs AirPort Extreme pitted Microsoft's announced plans for a home server--due in the second half of year--against Apple's currently shipping AirPort Extreme. In contrast to Microsoft’s home server plans first officially unveiled in January, Microsoft’s Media Center PC was first introduced back in 2002, and its origins date back even further. Introducing Windows XP Media Center Edition At CES 2002, the project was known under the code name Freestyle; it was later delivered as Windows XP Media Center Edition. Like the new Windows Home Server, it is only available bundled with a new PC from select OEMs.
