Vista Media Center - DVD burning problems

• Vista Media Center DVD Player not to return to previous position

  Hello and thanks.

  I have Vista Ultimate and I dive into the wonder that is Vista Media Center. It has a great feature! However, one of the points I noticed that lack is the DVD player does not playback from the previous position. As far as I know, there is no option in the GUI. In a spirit of clarity, let me give body to what I mean:

  If I play a DVD movie and stop it in half way through and close Vista Media Center, then restarts VMC and DVD playback, the DVD starts from the beginning and not the position that I stopped. It is not only boring, it is a feature of all the other DVD players I have used offers.

  So, my question is this: How can I activate previous position reading recovery in VMC?

  Hi AShimon,

  Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.

  There is no option in Windows Vista Media Center to resume playback where you left off, after the closure of the Media Center.

  However, I will propose you to pause the video you play and then lock the computer if you do not use or else you can also continue to work on the computer after pausing the video. Whenever you want to watch the video from where you paused just click on the 'play' button.

  Please let us know if it helps.

  Thank you and best regards,
  David

• Vista Media Center will play is no longer the DVD or TV?

  Windows vista media Center will not play TV, although he did it again and it will not read the DVD more, but there again. The answers would be gratefull.

  OK, forget the TV, I have now it works well.

  But I still can't read the DVD.

  After having put in a disk, it makes a funny sound as if she is looking for the disc backwards & fordwards permanently. After some time when nothing is happening and I'm going to eject the disc, a popup said cannot detect a disk.

  This happens on the plant as well as those burned discs.

  What happens if you try to play outside of the WMC?
  If it is it may be a disk problem.

  Can someone help me get the most out of Windows Vista media center with my new Qosmio G50.

  There is a tuner inside this laptop and I have the antenna and its plugged in. The drivers all seem to be installed but WMC tells me that I don't have the hardware to run FM stations and I can't make it work. Also, I can't record library but although I can't watch TV no problem at all.

  Someone out there have the answer?

  As I know a few models of G50 has been equipped with a tuner TV with antenna TV port that allows to connect a coaxial cable to this port to watch a TV program and then save.
  But as I said earlier, this feature is not included with all models of G50.

  Sorry, but I didn't find any info regarding the FM tuner.

• Why Windows Vista Media Center Program Guide stopped working

  I've been using Windows Vista Media Center as my main way to watch and record the TV, music, and Photos for a few years (shortly after Windows Vista came out).

  Since January 1, 2013, the program guide showed no data.

  I believe that this is because the Microsoft agreement with the broadcasting of the Data Services to the United Kingdom is exhausted.

  What is Microsoft doing about this?

  Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?

• No audio in Vista Media Center Live TV

  In Windows Media Center on Vista, I lost the audio when watching live TV. Others have had this problem, but I have not found a satisfactory answer that solves. Nothing is cut, my speakers to test very well and it IS audio in all aspects of Media Center, including the recorded programs previously. The problem seems to lie in Media Center, itself; I read something on any corrupted files codec, but no indication on how to fix this. Reload Media Center will arrange this and if yes, how can I go about it?

  Sometimes a presence of third-party decoders can cause this problem. If this is the case, uninstall them and check again the question.

  You can try Vista Media Center Decoder Utility: -.

• Windows Vista Media Center crashes when I change the channel

• Vista Media Center and my Xbox 360 extender connection

  Hi I have a problem connecting my xbox 360 and my windows vista media center. Everytime I try I get the message saying that it can't find the range extender and suggests that it is one of the following three things

  (1) the Extender is turned on and connected to the network

  It's on and it appears as an icon of the xbox 360 in my network on the vista machine and can connect to the internet, so I guess the network very well.

  (2) that the code is correct

  It's that I checked it about 30 or twice now.

  (3) UPnP does not work properly

  I guess that's the problem but cannot figure out how to solve. I have a BT Homehub router. I've implemented through active UPnp. I even tried to disable the firewall completely on it and on vista, it made no difference to the port forwarding doesn't seem to be the answer.

  Help please it is one of the main reasons I got an xbox 360 and vista

  Paul.

• Manufacturing of Vista Media Center more like Media Center of Windows7

  Hello

  I have myself recently built a HTPC using a card mother MSI Media Live Diva and Windows7 operating system. The package on Windows 7 Media Center in my opinion is excellent. It does everything I need. The only problem I have is not being able to prevent the audio device on the motherboard to get into a State of sleep. There is a loud as it switches on and outside. MSI do not plan to provide the necessary drivers for Windows7, so I bit the bullet and bought thinking that Vista Home Premium media centers would be the same. Vista media center offers userbility limited compared to Windows7. Is there an update that will make the center more like Windows7 vista support?

  Sorry for the hike but I wanted to make it clear what I'm after.

  Kind regards.

  Unfortunately, there is no download available that offers the functionality of the version of Windows7 for use on a Vista machine.  Here are all the available downloads and you can see that this is not one of them: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx?displang=en&qstechnology and http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/results.aspx?freetext=Windows+media+center&displaylang=en&stype=s_basic.  Make sure that your version has all the updates, because they can add a bit of the featurs you are looking for.

  Sorry for the bad news, but that's how it is.

  Good luck!
