  Edit titles when burning a CD with the media library.

  Is it possible to edit tracks I want to burn it to a CD with Windows Media Center?  Trying to get rid of long intro and outro, then I can fit more information on the disk.

• Low Audio when using Windows Media Center

  Hello world.  I have a question.  When I play a movie DVD or CD or anything audio Windows Media Center on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition.  The Audio output is always half of what it is in other programs.

  For example.  When I play music with windows media player, I let my volume of the speaker to about 2.5.  If I play a DVD movie on my computer, I put the volume on the speakers until about 5 # in order to hear the movie.  Then when I return to windows media player volume is very strong (of course because I turned it upward).

  I checked all the audio properties (on the PC under windows), but I can't seem to get the audio level as well as the rest of the Windows Media Center computer?

  No one knows what it wrong here?

  Thank you

  Hi karozans,

  Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

  Make sure the appropriate selections are made in the DVD settings and codecs are correct for the file that is being read...

  This is a lot of information on Windows Media Center, and the second link is information about the codecs.

  • http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/FAQ/default.mspx

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/FAQ/codec.mspx

  There are many different CODECS out there and search online, using your favorite search engine like www.live.com to "VISTA CODEC PACKS" can find the codec that you need to improve the sound on the videos that are currently playing.  When the right codec also be determine some codec download from a reliable source as the codecs are not created by Microsoft and can be obtained by a third party.

  Please let us know if there is more need information on this issue, or if you do not download the correct codec for the system and the problem persists, please post this information in the forum as well.

• Windows Media Center - audio problem on recorded TV

  My PC (Vista Home Premium) is connected to a widescreen TV with a HDMI cable and antenna lead.  Since we had in 07 big sound worked to record TV Live hi-def with Media Center and play on TV.  Suddenly, probably due to the recent update of windows Media Center, the audiocassette see the TV does not work.  It must be a software bug in Media Center because I can watch internet programming on the TV and the audio works fine.  Even Media Center sounds play fine.  Also the TV recorded see fine audio playback on the PC monitor, the only problem is on the TV. Does anyone have this problem or any idea of a solution?

  Hi Jwphl,

  Try to change volume settings and see if that fixes the problem.

  1. double-click on the icon of volume control main windows in the taskbar

  2 options-> properties > look for the choice of the mixer device.

  3. Select your tuner > check all boxes

  4 ok

  If this does not work, try the system restore and then install the updates manually one by one.

• How do you play dubbed audio or subtitles in Windows Media Center Extender (Xbox 360)?

  I know how to turn subtitles on my Windows Media Center PC, but there is no option to select audio dubbed or subtitled when you use Windows Media Center Extender. All my video files contain subtitles and audio dubbed foreign films.  My wife loves Spanish subtitles, because she has trouble understanding some English films.  I searched some forums and there are questions there but they have no definitive answers.  How a company billions of dollars developing a Media Center and leave out or miss crucial features like these? Please do not react with the thread on how to activate subtitles in TV Mode. Which does not apply to this question. The key word is EXTENDERS.

  Hi AnthonyWilson5

  Subtitles should be coded in the movie view. These subtitles are automatically playing with video files. If the subtitles are a separate .srt file, then you will not be able to visualize everything by watching a video on the 360. There is no real turn option ON or OFF for subtitle in the Xbox 360.

  But for more information you can even try to contact the expert Microsoft Xbox 360 team. Please visit the links below to find a community that will support what ask you in the right direction for Xbox 360.

• Audio stuttering then crash by watching the video with Windows Media center

  I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center which seems to have left me speechless. Whenever I have try and watch live TV or recorded using Media Center program, he starts to play to repeat the first second of audio for about 6 seconds and then stops playing gives me an video error and won't let watch me something else. I have a Setup Xbox 360 as an Extender and having no problem whatsoever. The strange thing is that, if I open the program saved directly from Explorer windows with media center, it will play well. If I stop and try and then click RESUME He stutters and gives me this video error.
  It used to work fine until I started to play with the audio settings from 5.1 to 7.1 audio in the windows configuration settings. I changed the settings in-game your 7.1 speakers. Actually I tried to switch back, but when I try to 'Test' the speakers it gives a sound like it is stuttering and I still get the video error when I try to play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• How to select the output device HDMI as audio playback for Windows Media Center device

  Output audio media center units

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up my media center from windows to windows media center of output through a separate audio device audio device by default.

  In this case, I have hdmi output that I want to be the output for windows media center and my realtek analog to be the default for all the rest.

  So my overall question is how I make windows media center requires is not the default audio device.

  Thank you

  Andrew

  Method 1 is useless. Does that change the audio device by default in the system, what the user seeks specifically not to do.

  Method 2 has no effect at all on Media Center.
  The answer seems to be no, Media Center only works with the audio output device by default.

• How to install Windows Media Center & decoder: Please help!

  I have a HP desktop computer. There not yet 2 years old, I have Windows Media Center (WMC) and I could watch TV very good about it until I'm the cable box. I simply plugged the cable into the Tower, no problem. Now that I have the decoder, I'm confused as to what's missing to make it work! It is said that the IR hardware & IR control cables are missing. What does that mean? Also, how far I will use? Do I have to use a universal? Oh, and it shows the channels that are supposed to be here (for example: it comes through that channel 53 is supposed to be MTV, but there is no video or sound).

  Thank you!!!

  -Lisa

  Set your tuner, PC TV channel 3 or 4 according to the cable box output channel.  The decoder is initially connect to the wall and the video output is connected to the PC.  Use the remote control for the set-top box to change channels.  If the PC is to drive the sound then you will also need to connect audio cables (red and white) from the cable box to the audio inputs of the TV tuner card.
