Hello everyone.

I'm thinking about picking up Gateway's media center with WindowsXP Media Center. I'm hoping that WindowsXP Media Center can do the following:

Record and edit TV and VCR signals.

Be able to convert TV and VCR either to DVD and/or a media file like .avi, .mov, etc.

Image captures and stills (can't imagine that it can't)

Also, does anybody know if it can convert downloaded torrent (might not be spelling that right) files to another media format?

If WindowsXP Media Center can not do this, is their a thrid party software that can work with WindowsXP MC to accomplish my goals?
