Windows Media Center Personal Video Recorder PVR How To

1. CableCARD or MCard tuner from your provider.  My provider was Verizon FIOS and I ordered the MCard from their website and waited the week for it to arrive at my house.  You only need one per CableCARD device. Other cable companies also provide this MCard.  Cox and Comcast.
2. CableCARD tuner.  I purchased a Ceton InfiniTV PCIe device for my computer through newegg.com for about $199 (they should be on sale now as the PCIe 6 device [$299] just came out).  The PCIe 4 device was fine for me in recording 4 separate channels at one time.  You can use the USB device as I tried but had issues and switched to the PCIe device.
3. Personal Computer (PC) with the minimum requirements as stated by Ceton.  I also added a 2TB hard drive for recording space.
4. Windows 7 or 8 operating system (OS) with Media Center (MC).  I purchased Win7 OS and upgraded to Win8 and got the free upgrade to MC before 30 Jan 2013 cut off.  If you do not already have MC then purchase through Microsoft.  Believe its still $60.
5. HD TV service from your service provider.

1. To provide service to other rooms throughout the house you will need a Windows Media Center Extender (WMCE).  If you already have an XBOX360 you have a WMCE.  If you need to purchase one Ceton makes one that is cheaper than buying a new XBOX360 called the Echo.  You could also purchase used XBOX360s from GameStop, Newegg.com, etc.  Think of this device as your new set-top box.  Youll own it and wont pay rent on it.
2. A router and this is were it gets iffy.  The industry tots that a WiFi "N" router can handle media streaming.  This might be the case in testing but in my experience hasnt panned out for me.  I had to go to an all wired architecture.  By all wired I also mean power line networks.  I have my main 60" LCD LED mounted over my fireplace with no access to a hard wired CAT 5/6 cable.  I do however have access to a home power plug.  I plugged the network homeplug (network power line) into the power outlet and the other end of the power line adapter close to my router and finished network connectivity.  I purchased the Belkin AV500 and it works great.  They do have a new Powerline Gigabit HD version out now and for a little extra doe might be worth it.  Refer to the owners manual for proper setup.  Recommend not using surge / multi-plugs power strips as they do not work well with these devices.  Youll know because the bandwidth speed is crap.  Also ensure the two plugs you decide to connect are on the same circuit.  Security reasons, I would recommend encryption because even the plugs on the outside of your house could be used to tap into the network.    Everywhere else I ran hard line CAT 5/6 cable linking to other WMCEs.
3. You might require a swtich if you run out of CAT5/6 plugs on your router from overcrowding.  I went gigabit 10/100/1000.  Not necessary as 10/100 switches will have more than plenty of bandwidth to stream.  I wanted to ability to transfer file from one computer to another with greater speed is why I went gigabit.

If the SMC firmware is corrupt because of any reason, your mac will start behaving strangely with no apparent reason ? the trackpad would stop working,lights won?t be working correctly,display resolution will change,your computer wont turn on or a number of other issues mentioned below. Most of the time, these issues can be solved by closing all of your apps and restarting the computer. Sometimes, though, you?ll need to reset the SMC by following the computers model-specific intructions described by Apple.

• Thermal management
• The SMS (Sudden Motion Sensor)
• Ambient light sensing
• Keyboard backlighting
• Status indicator light (SIL) management
• Battery status indicator lights
• Selecting an external (instead of internal) video source for some iMac displays

If the resetting does not fix the issue , you might need to update SMC.

Why Apple keeps their systems so closed is beyond us, but like many things in life, when theres a will, theres a way! Now, lets get hackin! 
Update: Thanks, funstraw! Fixed the numbering for ya. Not sure how that happened.. hehe :) 

WHAT YOU NEED: 

* Apple TV 2G 
* Windows PC (OSX users will have to use the Handbrake alternative or something like that, but you wont get getting 5.1 sound unfortunately)

1) Download and install XMedia Recode. 
2) Launch XMedia Recode. 

 

3) Drag and drop your MKV into the program. 4) Select the MKV you want to convert.

Using FFMPEG to convert MKV to M4V for Apple TV 

Being able to quickly convert MKV to M4V for iTunes has so far proved very useful. 

The following process has worked so far for a variety of MKV files that are H.264 and either AAC, AC3 or DTS audio. 

I have created a similar batch file for converting FLAC audio files into MP3.Objectives 

I wanted to achieve the following:

• Quickly convert MKV to M4V
• Ensure the audio tracks are iTunes / Apple TV compatible
• Be able to process a number of files at a time
• Work quickly

Folder Structure 

I use the following folder structure: 

c:source (The folder I put all my MKV files into) 
c:sourcedone (The folder the original MKV is moved into after processing) 
c:output (The folder that the complete M4V files are written to) 
c:ffmpeg in (The location that FFMPEG is installed in) 

There are some key elements to the batch file which are worth discussing a little further.

• Give the batch file a name like convert.bat and save it, you can then run it by double clicking on it or by calling it from a command prompt
• The whole thing is built inside a for do loop, meaning it will run once for every .MKV file it finds in c:source
• By using the -map feature, we are able to take the primary audio from the source MKV file and create both a stereo AAC track at 160k and a 5.1 AC3 track at 640k which keeps both iTunes and the Apple TV happy
• Once the file has been converted, it is moved from c:source to c:sourcedone

Top 5 Alternatives to MakeMKV Top Best Alternatives

MakeMKV is a video converting tool that can convert videos into a format that are playable on any digital media device. It usually convert the format of video to MKV files that are usually played on almost every media forums. The other features of MakeMKV are: it read out the DVD and Blu-ray discs, preserves all audio and video tracks including HD audio, preserves chapters information, fast conversion, multi-platform and many more. However, Despite many obvious advantages of MakeMKV, it is not without its problem. Its limitations are also obvious.

Part One: Why we need to find a Best alternatives of MakeMKV?

1. Output Limits. The biggest limitation is that the output is only in MKV format. If you want to watch DVD movie on iPhone, iPad or iPod, you may be disappointed, you know. You require some third-party software to help you convert Blu-ray to other formats that iPhone, iPad or iPod support, like M4V, MP4 and MOV. So, MakeMKV is not the one-stop solution for your DVD ripping as it claimed to be.

2. DVD Content Selection. The second step for DVD ripping in MakeMKV is selecting the DVD content. In the software interface, once the video source is opened you will see its contents as a tree structure. Normally, disc contains different titles (main movie and video clips). You need to select which titles you want to save and what tracks to keep in each title. For each item you will also see detailed information such as item type, size, length, codec, language and so on. This job presents many difficulties to the new recruit. Because beginners may not understand what these items mean and what are the consequences of their choices.

3. The Size of Output Text. I just had one test with MakeMKV software. I ripped a standard DVD and the size of output MKV movie file was up to 6GB. The subtitle of output movie was as big as you see.

4.Poor Picture Quality. As a 6GB large output file, the image quality was so bad, as shown above.

Based on these reasons above, you?d better choose a MakeMKV alternative that supports more output formats and devices and featured much higher selectivity, easier operation and ?the maximum high-definition experience?. Following are the top 5 bet alternatives of MakeMKV.
