winternals dvd is usefull when trying to remove admin passwords but other than that a big fuckoff hammer ;) if it doesnt work t**t IT i really dont have a tool kit as such due to me been the netadmin everything is always around me. only think i do have is the disaster recovery battlebox...

lol now thats a better idea see now we are comming from the same direction its all ok :D

one good reson cd's can explode when hitting 52x + actually there was a 72x cd drive but it used 7 lasers and an actual rotation speed of 10X

i agree, the poor lads a ginger he cant take too much in :P

i agree but tbh you are usually lucky to find a drive that will hit its max playback speeds anyway there are always overheads. i mean ultra 320 scsi cant sustain its max thearetical bandwidth either. regarding sas is the future for servers these days anyway unless you really want to spend far...

the blacks are fine its the coloured smearing (screan goes black then get lovely smearded coloured lines up it) that i object too lol hence its off back ;)

but you think a hd dvd drive can lets take the HR-1100A hd dvd drive as an example it connects via udma 33 (standard ide cable) its bandwidth is far lower than sata2 (missed off a bit) let alone fiber !

and also on that front your wrong ;) my tv is a 42" lcd supporting 1080p on hdmi, vga and dvi and that cost £989 also th sharp xd1e range is full 1080p as does the sony w series

the blackmagic card only also does 1080i at no point has anyone been talking about encoding 1080 footage purely decoding it ! no one would want to encode 1080p footage anyway as no one has any way of capturing it in the first place ! and who said pentium d ?? i said core 2 duo and we are still...

i found it very easy iirc its easy to do within 3 minutes the right trigger is analogue by the way or pressure sensative anyway

depending on your tv and dvd player it may very well give you better video quality but you will most prob have to live with under/over scan unless your tv supports 1-1 pixel mapping the beauty of a htpc is that it upscales everything to the resolution that your displaying at. it will also...
