There are a number of commercial and open source PVR applications, not that I've got round to trying any yet:

www.snapstream.com
www.prismiq.com/products/index.asp
www.videolan.org/vlc/
Would be interested to hear how you get on if you try any.

they discount me. your set up sounds nice. you sound as bad as me for fun with a crew driver
most of my stuff comes as divx so no need to strem it
i have a server with 5 ide drives and a few SCSI hard drives trown in for good mesure.
and just use the main one to play files across the network from the server.
now iv moved i was on the look out for a good low hour CRT projector
I was going to build a custom pc to run the projetor in to a custom coffey table with a small monitor under the glass top.
as the computer room backs on the opersit wall to the liveing room, i want the screen on.
im going to cut a projection hole in the conputer room wall and mount the projector there on a shelf and use main pc to run it.
I plan to do alot more as well now we moved to the new place.
as it will be easy that
around setting up the crt on the celing and all the bother of reanfourcing the celling as well
pluss it will look nicer with out a bloody great CRT hanging from the celling
personal i think windows meia center sucks.
i got a copy but its shit
I can do a better job with MyHTPC http://myhtpc.net/
I got a itronix laptop theat im debating wether to rip apart as it got a touch screen built in.
to use as the coffey table control device
I plan to do alot more as well now we moved to the new place.
ill let you nknow how the 9800 runs when i fire it up.
as im still puting that machine togeater as i type.
as it was getting a new mother board as well a asus a7n8x deluxe.
and it a moded pc so takes ages moving wires so it looks ok with the window and lights.

steav take alook at myhtpc its a bit of a hackers choice.
but if you ok with that your love it, its a very flexable choice had you can verturly bolt and shit.program you want on to it.

when you first look at it its looks rather simple but look deaper and your get the idear
Outlaw,
i have had myhtpc installed for a while but cant seem to add in the extra plugins.
How do you add them in i have put them in the root directory and gone to the configuration utility but they do not apear for me to change the options.
All i can find on the support site is add module cant seem to figure it out can you tell me how to add the plugin in.
