This is connected to an HDTVwith composite cables, there is no vga or dvi on
the HDTV. I'm trying to setup MCI as the center piece to my entertainment
system, I think that's the real purpose of this O.S., but looks like I'm
restricted to moving it back to a basic computer setup. Sorry, but this is
frustrating, all this copy right protection is going too far and I hope
Microsoft helps fight this battle and recognizes it's going to cut into the
usefullness of it's product.

This is just outrages. The real point is, you spend up to or over $1000
to
build a top of the line pc with MCE so you can access TV and generally the
#1
thing, play DVD's, on an HDTV TV and guess what you can't unless you drop
resolution to such poor quality. Then to rectify this you have to
purchase
another software spending yet more money $40 to maybe get it to work.
When
all you really need to do is purchase a DVD player for now under $100
bucks
to watch your movies on TV.
Uhm Microsoft has a major issue here. MCE won't get adopted by the
general
public for large entertainment systems with this kind of mess built in.
It
could end up as a pretty media player for standard computers because it's
there by default when you purchase a computer instead of what Microsoft
really wants, which is to take us into a new Media age where your
entertainment system revolves around MCE and future builds. Come on...no
one
saw this as an issue at Microsoft? Please!!!

Center NG)
I am trying to play commercial DVDs (e.g. Monsters Inc) using Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005 - the media center application. Works fine with
VGA, but I get an error when using the component video output:
Cannot Play DVD
Media Center cannot play this DVD. The DVD may be in use by another
application or it may be copy-protected
When I try to play using the WinDVD, I press play, it says: "Please close
WinDVD and change to non-TV Display device".
I have an ATI Radeon x700 card in a new Windows Media Center 2005 HP
Computer. I tried both a DVI-to-Video Component adapter, as well as the
adapter cable that came with the card. Both cause the same results. The
DVI
works fine, and the VGA works fine, but component output always gives the
error message. I really need to use the component output with my config,
as
no other inputs will be available.
I have tried HP support, but after 3 levels of escalation, the response
is
"we will email you when we have a solution". Surely someone out there has
encountered this problem & has a solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks in advance.
