Burning DVDs with Windows Media Center
Why does take so long to burn a dvd of a movie that I recorded with Windows Media Center Vista?
Is there another way to upload videos/movies recorded with Windows Media Center on a dvd?
I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64.
What determines how long it will take to burn the DVD? The following factors play a role in how long it will take to burn a DVD:
Available system resources on your computer. The speed of your computer processor, the amount of available disk space and amount of RAM play a role in determining how long it will take to encode the video and burn it to a DVD.
The speed of your DVD burner, as well as the type of recordable DVD media you are using. A faster DVD burner with faster recordable DVDs results in a decreased once burning, compared to burning a DVD with a DVD burner slower more slowly the recordable DVD.
The length of the video on the DVD. When you use Windows Media Center to create a DVD, all the video and audio must be converted to a file format audio and video that a DVD player can decode and play. Long videos take longer to burn.
You can include digital images and music on the DVD when creating a slide show. Photos and music are encoded in the MPEG-2 and Dolby audio, Digital video format and consequently, they will increase the time it takes to create and burn slide show DVD.
Check out similar posts mentioned under "Related topics" to the right of this message.
There are always third-party programs to watch, things like Nero or Roxio, but they are expensive, unless you get them delivered with a new DVD player.

Windows Media Center Vista don't tune in digital channels of PCI digital tuner tv.
I recently installed a new Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC? ATSC/QAM tuner in my computer. Its a dual core 2.66 mhz 4GB Ram running Windows Vista Home premium with Windows Media Center. The tuner is made to work with Windows Media Center according to its box. He also had his own software cleaner, IE. WinTV, which I also loaded. I have an antenna hanging good input on the tuner card. That same exact antenna wire hooked to a digital TV Gets the following strings... 6.1 and 6.2 - 6.3 - 8.1 - 8.2-8.3-17.1-17.2 - 17.3 - 22.1
WinTV those gets exactly the same channel list and can display them all. Windows Media Center, after the execution of the installation routine, list the same channels, but do not think that all. Problem channels are 8.2 - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3. These channels show in the guide as "No Data Available" and when you select them, there is no signal detected. Yet, channel 8.1 and 17.1 gave Guide and discover very well. It is interesting when you go through special antenna Signal: settings: TV: Digital TV the 8.2 problem channels - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3 list all the and are verified with check marks and show full signal strength. I spent time trying to play with the Guides Add announcement & edit channels and add missing channels. Also, I spent time with "Set Up TV signal" several times.
Any suggestions? Why is the windows media center grateful but not display secondary digital channels, still recognizing and displaying the primary digital channel very well. It can be the signal or the pilots, because MyTV of Hauppage shows them all very well.
Help?Try windows update. I use this card with media center 7 and had no problem getting all the digital channels.

Problems with Windows Media Center cumulative update 2
Hello
I tried to set up my xbox360 to work with windows media center. Whenever I try to install the Update Rollup 2, he created a restore point and as soon as he arrives to install the fix, says installation failed and my computer must be restarted or something to that effect. I did some research and found the threads on the .NET framework 1.1 Hotfix and checked for her and she does not appear in my programs add/delete, menu, so I don't think that may be worth. It drives me crazy, any help would be appreciated seriously.
Yes - you will need to reinstall Windows to fix. And, Yes, you will need to backup your data first and reinstall all your programs later.
I'll post instructions later tonight (they are on a machine at home). In the meantime, now is a good time to start copying all your data to elsewhere.
Kind regards

Error: "Tuner not found" with Windows Media Center
Original title: someone at - there a solution to this problem of Tuner not found with Windows Media Center? I tried for several years to find an answer to this embarrassing problem without success.
I did just about everything, including a restoration of the complete system without success. It would be nice to be able to use my Windows Media Center to watch live TV and record programs I would like to see later.
There is a great thread towith people have reported this problem with this tuner.Unfortunately, it looks like the only solution people have found is to replace theTuner with another brand.I don't know if it's the hardware failure or something else, but looking at thiswire, if it was ME, I cut my losses and replace the tuner.BarbMVP - Windows/entertainment and connected homePlease mark as answer if that answers your question -
