I had to reinstall Vista and Media Center. I am trying to configure DVD Playback thru ffdshow. When I click on the "DVD Playback Settings" option in the Tools->Options box, I get a box saying that my system is not configured properly for DVD playback. It offers to download "Intervideo DVD XPack". If I click the "View Error Text" button, it tells me that "The video decoder 'ffdshow Video Decoder' could not be used for DVD playback" and asks me to select another video decoder. I use ffdshow in TheaterTek so I know it is installed and working.
My issue is that I love the interface for music with JRiver including G-Force for visualizations with my FLAC rips. However, the MyMovies interface for Vista Media Center (which I cannot stand the music interface) is more what I am looking for from movies and allows me to use TheaterTek and ffdshow. I have worked with my configuration until it looks pretty nice. If I could get this to work, I might consider using JRiver even though the interface isn't as nice for movies. My wife thinks it is pretty silly that I have spent all this money and time and have to shift between two programs.
Thanks,
Craig
