• question re. records programmed in windows media Center

  I want to record a tv using Windows Media Center (WMC) series. I configured the tuner, WMC and took the series to record using the guide. My question is: what I must have WMC running in the background for the scheduled to start recording, or WMC itself will start at the right time? In addition, it will start my laptop? in other words, can I just turn off my cell phone (to save energy) and let and WMC invites you to my computer to start up and/or start WMC when programmed recording? Thank you!

  The laptop doesn't have to be on, but if it isn't then it must be in mode 'sleep'. If you do a full closed then media library will not be able to restart the laptop, but it can be awakened from sleep mode.

• How can I burn a DVD in Windows Media Center with the closed captioning information included?

  I recorded a program in Windows media center.  When I read the program, it displays the closed captioning information.  If I burn a DVD program closed captioning information do not display during playback.  How can I burn the DVD to include captioning?

  Hello
   
   
  1. How do you try to burn the DVD? You have saved the DVD on the desktop (hard drive) or you burnt before you save it to a DVD?
  2. after are burning the DVDs in which application you trying to play?
  
  I suspect that the captions are already burned in DVD, at this point in time we can cross check if the option is set to display captions.
  To enable or disable subtitles for DVD
  a. on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click DVD and then click subtitle.
  b. click the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to select power off or when cut, and then click Save.
   
  For more information, refer to the article below.

• 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.

• Impossible to change the Windows Media Center guide to allow the use of ot TV relay stations (translators)

  Live TV with Windows Media Center, where RF channels are different from that of the guide because of the distance TV translators (relay Stations)

  Cannot change the guide to allow the use ot (translators) television relay stations where the RF TV channel is different from the current station. For example, Station POLO6N is 9 RF channel in Eugene, OR, but here on the coast, it is the 35 RF channel. Zip code for our region apparently points to the station itself RF channel and the number of 1092 is shown and dimmed so that it cannot be changed. How the inputs of channel can be modified to adapt to this situation? Here on the coast, we're out of range (mountains, etc.) of the station itself.

  I have apparently discovered a way to watch and record live TV using Windows Media Center where the geographical area is served by the translators of the TV and the.

  If you configure the TV channels using only NOT the guide and using Add missing channels feature to add and configure the channels you use before you download the guide, you can set the actual RF frequencies of TV translators serving your area. In my case, I had to add the letters TD after the call signs of stations so that when I load the guide, he be to point to the current channel.

  After having added all channels and before loading guide, check the reception using the function designed to help you in the pointing of your antenna. Then load the guide and your channel configuration is retained and stored in a file pref.xml which apparently replaces the channels.xml file created by the loading guide.

  Unfortunately, detailed documentation on the product missing apparently (help files I found only State to follow the guests), or I didn't find it. In all cases, you can use Windows Media Center to watch and record live TV if you live in an area served by the translators/TV relay stations with different channels channels over-the-aor real real TV stations.

  If you find that you need to change a channel, use channel add rather than the function Edit channels, clear the X in the box and start over with this channel.

• Cannot play movies/recorded shows in Windows Media Center on Windows 7

  Three years ago I bought a Sony laptop with Vista and an external tuner ATI so that with a CableCARD, I could use Windows Media Center to record shows/movies. I recently bought a new PC with Windows 7 and found that the Windows 7 PC cannot read the 500 films/shows that have been saved and the new Windows 7 recorded shows can be played by the Vista laptop. Is any way to convert or run natively these shows that have been saved under the WMC?

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly, you are unable to play back movies recorded in windows media center.

  Looks like the file cannot not supported by Media Center or you need a codec to right.
  What type of video file format?
  Also check the videos if there are other formats to the choice other than the one you have now.

• How can I fix my Windows Media Center

  My Windows Media center to disappear from my computer I already looked everywhere in all programs and windows and nothing features on or off. my computer came with this program, but suddenly its gone I have not now how to get it back. I know that I have not uninstalled it.

  Hi Oscarlo2,

  Same thing happened to me. It could be as simple as another media player, be affected as your default player. My OS is Windows Vista, so I had to go through the following steps:
  Control Panel > programs > by default of the programs > set your default programs
  Windows Media Center should always be which are listed there. Once you is like Media Player by default, it should appear immediately.
  I know that this has been posted a year ago, but if still you have your Media Center, I hope this helps.

• Alternatives to Windows Media Center

  Microsoft has an alternative program to Windows Media Center?

  Or even a non-microsoft program that is reliable?

  WMC is really terrible...

  Bad reading, synchronization of lag issues, audio, high resource use, bad control layout and options... I'm pretty sick of being honest!

  Whenever I want to watch a DVD I always think twice because I can't be bothered with glitch / and my fans having an adjustment of all 10 minutes!

  Does anyone know of a good alternative to the WMC, you've used yourself or have been recommended?

  I not looking for solutions to problems with WMC variants, just reliable ;)
