Issues of Media Center in Windows 7 (Pro) & questions

I tried to add movies (files) to Media Center, but it does not work.
I select the (local) drive, then click on the folder (where are my movie files), then next, but it does not add.  Why can't we just TYPE in something like that?  And why this menu seems to go to sleep?  My system partitions a WEI 7.8 and I click on a menu item and the software just sits there for a few seconds, then responds.  Where was all this time?

All my movies have very useful and consistent file names.  How do I get MMC to view THOSE and not the odd internal name in the files of brand somehow?

Is it possible to associate a poster of film or jpg with each film so the inscription looks better?  Now, it's a bunch of blocks of sickly aspect (who chose these colors?).

When you watch movies, MMC insists on sending audio directly to the optical output, bypassing the volume/mixer Windows and the volume control in Media Center.  The + - at the bottom does absolutely nothing!  Execution of Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, I have total control of the volume, as for all the rest.

There is a scroll bar?  They make it easier to jump around in the media file.

I run Media Center (on a system with two screens) and it goes full screen.  The mouse is stuck on this screen.  Why?

On another Win 7 (Premium) system with a TV tuner, how I record TV on my data disc?  The boot drive is much smaller, and since I regularly back up, I like to keep all the data off of it and on a table.  I wish that my machine "DVR" record TV shows on that second most "drive" too.

Must Media Center be run to have a programmed recording to arrive?  (I know that the computer must be on).  I guess what I'm asking is if Media Center includes a service that runs in the background, time and the timing of registration, monitoring and who uses Media Center or the utility to record at the right time.  If Media Center is open and running, it is adjustable to open reduced?

Thanks to all who can offer clues with all this.

During a Media Center, go to tasks.

Then TV > recorder > recorder storage

Change the drive where Media Center records there.

Media Center is not need to be run to record TV, it will record what you have planned in the background.

  • 0 x 80070011 when you try to add the Media Center of Windows 8 Pro

    I am attempting to add Windows Media Center to my installation of Windows 8 Pro but get an error message saying something with evil.  Looking at the logs, I see that the problem is "DoTransmogrify failed due to error 0 x 80070011" which indicates there is a problem with my user directory is on a drive other than the Windows folder.  Since I have an SSD relatively low to start I moved my user to a much larger hard drive folder.  Should not directory junctions work the same as if the file was on the same drive?  Is there a work around short replacing my user on the c: folder?

    Thank you!

    I had a similar problem with window 8 RSAT tools that lead me to this post in my search for a solution. I'm not positive that this will solve your problem but it worked for me. Because the Setup program does not seem as follows symbolic links that point to different disks, I simply said the installer the real location of the profiles it is updated during the installation. Open the registry editor and navigate to:

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    Change the location of the "Default", 'ProfilesDirectory' and 'Public' StringValues to point to the real target of your users path a symlink on drive c. (IE. "D:\Users\*).
    Run the Media Center Setup
    Change back the path in the registry.
    (I'm not positive that this is necessary, as you'd still have the symbolic link on your C drive as points that anything using this path to the right folder, I just changed it back to %SystemDrive%\* so that I could test to see if the RSAT tools has always worked without the explicit path used in the registry.)
    Good luck. I hope this works.
  • How can I get Bluray look a supported in Windows Media Center on Windows 8 Pro?

    I saw no definitive answer anywhere on the support Blu - ray for WMC. Is there a codec download or do I really need to spend $100 + to buy CyberDVD just to watch Blu - Ray? I was on the right track to buy a Blu - ray to my PC player so I could throw the Blu - ray player in total but have read a lot of people say that reading doesn't is not supported even in Windows Media Center for me at this time there should be a standard for Blu - ray support.

    Unfortunately, as in Windows 7 there no Blu - ray for the WMC or WMP support in Windows 8 PRO either. You need a separate application for playing Blu Ray.

    I'm very new to windows 8. I learned that I can not play my DVD unless I get a media center download.  I have windows 8 version 6.2, can someone help me? I am an old person and need simple instructions please.

    You can only add a Media Center in Windows 8 Pro. If you have Windows 8, you will need to download and install VLC or another player in order to play DVDs. Hope this helps and if you need any other help post and I'll be happy to help you.

  • Windows Media Center - I'd do lilke SciFi tv shows (programming) downloaded in the "Internet TV & guide" area of Windows Media Center for Windows 7

    How a person is new issues added to the Media Center for Windows 7. I wish that programs of Science Fiction (Scifi) added to the section 'Internet Tv and English' Media Center. Thank you.

    Unfortunately, this is between the owners of content/broadcasters and
    Microsoft. There are changes from time to time about what is available, but we
    as end users, have no say in what is available at any time. You may want to
    at the start of Netflix (there is a free trial version). While doing not part of Media Center.
    You can use a web browser to http://www.syfy.com/rewind/ where some shows are

  • Download Windows Media Center in Windows XP Home Edition?

    I want to download Windows Media Center in Windows XP Home Edition. I can do or do I have to install Windows XP Media Center Edition? If I install XP Media Center Edition can just move from Windows XP Home Edition?
    Thank you!
    David

    There is no such thing as a download of MCE to XP Pro or home.

    You may be able to find an upgrade, if you search the Web.

    Operating system upgrades are not a good way to go, always better to have the full version.

    Since MCE is an older version, you can find now a lot cheaper than it used to be.

  • 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

  • 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?

    Hi RalphGreenlee,

    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.

    Method 1:

    Indicate the file types supported by Windows Media Center:

  • remote control will not access the letters in media center in Windows 7

    I use Media Center with Windows 7.   When you use the command remotely (RC6) multiple key does not rely on the number buttons should afford letters on access keys, but all I get is multiple insertions of the number.  My old Media Center XP computer worked correctly.  I can access letters OK using my keyboard but that is rather cumbersome to use in the living room and I prefer to get the remote control works properly.

    Media Center

    While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).
