QUOTE(robotizer @ Mar 14 2010, 08:34 AM) wats the difference between normal audio, n hd audi?? is there a dierence? can u differentiate it? Below u can see a different between normal and HD audio. The highest bitrate will produce highest quality of sound. Maximum bitrate for normal audio 1- MP3 128kbps 2- Dolby Digital 448kbps 3- DTS 2mbps Maximum bitrate for HD audio 1- Dolby Digital Plus 6mbps (lossy) 2- DTS-HD High Resolution 6mbps (lossy) 3- Dolby TrueHD 18mbps (lossless) 4- DTS-HD Master Audio 24.5mbps (lossless) Source: pioneer This post has been edited by minimize: Mar 14 2010, 01:48 PM |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Mar 16 2010, 06:22 PM) Anyone could suggest , i'm planning to upgrade my GPU from Geforce 210 to GTX275, GTX285, GTX295. Also, any Speaker system that you guys would like to suggest. Im currently on Altec Lansing ATP3 2.1. Thanks in advance.. GTX295 for HTPC? Wahh.. I though is for hardcore gaming.  I'm not sure about Nvidia. But ATI 5xxx series can bitstream HD audio. Maybe u should consider it. |

QUOTE(paskal @ Mar 18 2010, 05:33 AM) but still there's no support for HD audio bitstream. a waste of money IMHO to buy a HDMI enable card, and still have to buy another card that supports HD audio streams in the future (when there is solutions to buy just one card) Bro Paskal, are u using BD-ROM in your HTPC? |

QUOTE(prasys @ Mar 18 2010, 06:06 PM) Just curious , seriously you guys want DTS HD and HD audio out. Even the current 5.1 is good enough and yet some of us want full HD output for it. Anyway as long its digital and 5.1 and its HD , for me I'm okay with it. Last time I also feel DD5.1 is good enough until I try to hear HD audio (TrueHD/DTS-HD). My ears can hear a different. Right now because I always hear HD audio then I know current/normal audio not very good enough.  |

I notice that ATI HD 5000 series now support 3D stereoscopic display/glasses.
But don't know what type of 3D glasses can be used.

QUOTE(azxel @ Jun 15 2010, 06:24 PM) new Mac Mini now with HDMI ports...!! just canceled my Dell Zino HD order... dang Dell... my order was on the 1st June, Estimated Delivery was suppose to be 14th June... then on the 14th, they changed it to the 23rd June... taking 23 days to assemble a PC is kinda extreme, eh? Won't see my buying a Dell from now on, that's for sure. Dell always postpone it date. I buy printer also quiet late. Not sure are they assemble that printer also.  |

ATI 5000 series or Nvidia GT2 (with PureVideo HD) are great for 1080p movies. |

QUOTE(ck_mon @ Jul 4 2010, 10:49 AM) Hi... i have a problem with my HTPC how to bitstream HD audio trough my av receiver? i have .m2ts files with HD audio, when i played there is no sound from my speakers... for DD and DTS no problem. im using Win7, k-lite codec pack, HD5570 and Yammy RX-V663 What sound card are you using right now? Not all sound card support audio bitstream. You also can use ATI HD 5xxx series graphic card to bitstream HD audio to AVR. |

QUOTE(qwerty79 @ Aug 11 2010, 07:15 PM) If in your folder you see .nfo file, that where it saved all the info. Best way is to seperate TV series and movies in different folder. in XBMC, how to rename TV series file to make it appear with episode name and episode picture? I try to rename with many type of filename but still fail.  This post has been edited by minimize: Aug 14 2010, 01:50 AM |

QUOTE(Aura @ Aug 14 2010, 08:32 AM) If u r using XBMC built-in scraper, u hav to export the video library 1st.... U can do this in the settings menu in XBMC.... When u r asked single file or separate file, choose separate file.... U'll get all the nfos, thumbs and fanart in individual folders of ur movies and tv shows.... Edit with xml for info display and replace the thumbs and fanart for pic.... Then import it back to ur XBMC.... It should reload everything that u changed.... Sound quiet tricky and not easy as movie scraper, but i will try. Any easy method to made scaper for TV series? |

QUOTE(netherlord @ Aug 14 2010, 02:36 PM) For me (iam using XBMC also) i just make sure the Folders are the name and the files inside are following this scheme. Foldername (Lost) --> Foldername (Season 1) ---> Filename S01E001.avi 1st Folder depicts the TV show name, 2nd Folder depicts the Season, 3rd Filename depicts the season and episode of that particular file. The built-in scraper for TV Shows (www.thetvdb.com) uses the SxxExxx format to get the info. This format will allow XBMC to get the info for your TV Shows based on www.thetvdb.com database. Works with anime also ^^ Hope it helps  What folder should i select in add source at XBMC? Foldername (Lost) or Foldername (Season 1) |
