• My windows media player for Vista Home premium is only a version 6 and cannot find a later version to download

  I tried to play a dvd with windows media player on vista family premium, I get the message that I need to upgrade the player I have is the version 6.4, but I can't find any update for vista because they all seem to be for XP or earlier. Where can I find a drive to upgrade. Thank you very much.

  Hello Pacone

  According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker. Here is the link for Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. You can download the latest Live Movie Maker from here. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker?OS=other

• Recording in Windows media center mode 'sleep'

  Original title: record in hibernate or standby mode

  Will be windows media center recording a first HDHomeRun in "sleep" or hibernation mode?

  Hey, Logan,

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  Here is a link to HP about the same:

• Can I watch a show that is currently recording in Windows Media Center since the beginning of this show?

  I use Windows Media Center to record TV shows.  Suppose I record a show in an hour at 6:00, and I decide to 06:10 I want to watch this show from the beginning. (while it's recording)

  Is it possible to do this in Windows Media Center?  The media file of the recording of the show is not accessible until it is 100% finished recording.

  I am looking for a way to watch a show while it's recording, but to do so since the beginning of the show (after the start of recording)

  Thank you

  Hello

  Im sure that you can watch TV recordings during live TV recording, but you can't watch a program during its course of recording.

• Stop recording in Windows Media Center

  I need to help, stopping at Windows Media Center (Windows Vista Ultimate). For some reason programs took a specific series on once for automatically records. I can't find any option to COMPLETELY stop the records to AVOID it. I don't want to record off tv. I am only able to cut the recorder when there's a notice, that he began to record.

  That sounds like some show was somehow may (inadvertently) value series 'Record '.
  Try this: in recorded TV, go to scheduled > series.  The show in question shows up there?  If so, select it > cancel the series.

  HTH,

• Manual records on Windows Media Center 7

  Hello, looking at TV live, every time I start a manual recording by pressing the REC button, recording starts OK but stops as soon as the current programme comes to an end, is this normal for WMC7?

  I don't want to record to track the EPG, just save until I have stop, manual is possible?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the option you are talking about is by design, when you press record it is to acknowledge that you want to save just this episode/move. If you want to set a record for some time on a manual change (for example 3 hours on channel 4, you need to create a manual recording event.

• Cannot change the sections of recorded TV, TV was recorded by Windows Media Center on Windows 7

  I have problems with sections of editing a stored program recorded TV in Windows Media Center on Windows 7.

  I can't find all the options to change the records as it is on my PVR on Media Center. I can't even open the record with another program like Nero to edit & find Windows Live Movie Maker is very limited, it allows to cut the ends of the records not the sections in the middle.

  Can someone tell me what program or how do I do it (& where to find)?

  Media Center has not all means of editing recorded TV. I don't know if you
  will have more luck if you convert DVR - MS and then try Nero. To convert,
  view the TV folder in Windows Explorer and click with the right button on the show.
  then convert DVR - MS to view on the shortcut menu.  Video reDo might work
  as well. Try posting on thegreenbutton.com forums if this does not resolve your
  issue. See the son as http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/p/85953/432209.aspx

• Reset the library in Windows Media Center on Vista Ultimate

  Any way to reset Media Center, so it restores the library of images, video and audio?  I need to start all over again because it won't let me control my own destiny.

  Media Center has found all kinds of stuff on my readers that I don't want to appear in its menus.  No, it's not _, but I can't see how this could be a real problem.  Is finding all sorts of photos of various I don't want not shown.  I wouldn't have to revamp my hard drive in an attempt to hide the stuff of Media Center.  That's all just crazy!  Media Player 11 is much better behaved.

  Once Media Center detects something it got him to it!  At least it seems that way to me.

  It would be a great improvement if Media Center show you a list of files that it finds and then gives you the ability to remove or add to this list.  MS apparently he dumbed down so that you can do.  Then after that it's must rescan and update everything.  Media Center development team please talk to the development of Media Player 11 team and see how they do.

  Apparently, it cannot detect that I moved my Public folder to another drive.  He is always looking for C:/users/Public and won't give up his research there.  I empied on all my music, video, photos, etc. under my user so it won't find anything be it next time around.  Now, I just need to find a way to reset the library from scratch.  It would be a nice option to have on task!

  Another option would be to score a registration file in Media Player/Media Center with a power button set with a right click on the folder.  Carbonite for that because he's back in line ups and it couldn't be simpler!

  This is really an excellent product to be almost useless for me.

  BajaPaul,

  Windows Media Center takes advantage of your information to the Windows Media Player library. We will need to edit your library here.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  Add or remove watched your library folders:

  Open Windows Media Player, click on the library tab and choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV) then press F3 on your keyboard to open the Add to library window, press Advanced Options, make your selections for your library folder (by selecting Add, Remove, ignore or Enable), click on OK.

  Now, let's remove existing content unwanted from your library:

  Press on the library tab, choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV). Now select library in the left panel, displays, select file. You can now right click on the folder you want, and then select delete, to the notification area select delete from library only, press on OK. Alternatively, you can right-click on any multimedia file and follow the steps above to remove.

  Note: Pictures and video in Windows Media Center libraries automatically monitor your current user photos and video records. Any multimedia content added to these folders will be automatically analyzed in your Media Center, which includes the folder Public under C:/Users, place only the content you want to add them.

• Windows Media Center in Vista doesn't have the option for Closed Caption

  Hello

  I went to a page "Help & how-to" describing the process of "see closed captions or subtitles in Windows Media Center." He showed the following steps:

  "To turn closed captioning on or off.

  1. In the start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV or DVD, then closed captioning. In some regions, you may need to select subtitles instead of captioning. »

  My problem is that I don't have the option for subtitles in TV as described above. But I have to DVD. So where and how can I solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  Go to settings, television, then you will see the captioning, then you can click on the + to switch running or go to advanced for more options.
