Windows Vista with Media Center, problem CC and Subtitle

[The Highlander]

And There is also C/C support in DVD player in Mac OS X, it works beautiful.

Dude! Apple TV is not support CC. Correct?

it is bug that I found I have two comptuer vista, I check another comptuer perfect one CC without subtitle, I think ATI is no good and bug, another computer is Nvidia.

Ati is worse ever! Used good brand but not anymore so I gave up Ati and I switched to Nvidia. Screw to Ati driver.

This is interesting. I didn't expect graphics card be the root cause. Do both computers have the exact same settings? Do both computers have "Basic CC1" enabled? Do not enable "Advance Service 1". "Basic CC1" is analog and "Advance Service 1" is digital. CC from DVD is analog.

Also, do both computers use same video cable connection? How do you connect your computer to TV? Do you use:

1) DVI or HDMI cable
2) Component cables (three color coded RCA-like cables)
3) S-video cable (single cable with multiple pins)
4) Composite (simple single RCA cable)

If you use DVI or HDMI, I don't think you will get CC from DVD player program because CC from DVD is always analog and DVI/HDMI is digital.

CC will most likely not work with component cables if computer outputs in progressive scan. You must use interlace scan with component cables in order for CC to work. I do not know if it's possible to control interlace/progressive scan in computers.

S-Video or composite should work with CC. Many video cards have S-video output. Try use S-video if you are not using it.

No matter what type of cable for computers. Only dvd/hd-dvd/blu-ray player.

.... and that's why some people are such idiots - they can't figure things out on their own. They see a problem, and they freak out.

For myself, ohh yes, I have experienced a lot of problems, not just on Vista, but also on XP and Server 2003. For instance, my new video card I installed 2 weeks ago wouldn't work on Server 2003. I hunted on the vid card manufacturer's website ('twas nVidia, if you insist on knowing), and tried the XP drivers (there are no drivers specifically for 2003, sadly) ... whoops, a blue screen when I rebooted to the 2003 partition. I then made a "Last Known Good Configuration" boot to Server 2003 and then disabled all of the "goodies" that required the vid card. All went well this time, albeit the blahs the goodies of the vid card left behind (generic driver supplied from the Server 2003 R2 CD).

Nvidia model?

To Highlander - tis nVidia GeForce 7300 GS. I searched for those drivers - and it only showed Server 2003 x64 (64-bit), not x86 (32-bit).

Any ideas, genius? I have tried everything, including setting the installation files to XP-compatible. Still a no-go.

I'm running Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition (with SP2), the full, non-evaluation kind. I got the $4000-worth (yes, you read it correctly; it's 4 thousand dollars worth) Server 2003 R2 from a college program ... absolutely free. I didn't have to pay a penny.

I'm thinking of getting Server 2008 for free through the college program. I'm loving this, lol.

lol, Vista is so buggy.

I prefer to order new laptop via customize, not from store anymore and rather to have GeForce GPU (for laptop) and Windows XP MCE, also it's offer from online.

I wouldn't mind to get Mac, though.

Why 32bits? You should use 64bits next time. There is no 32bits for Ati and Nvidia for W2k3. I use W2k3 64bits and no problem so far since few years ago.

Did you know MCE is buggy? XP and Vista without MCE then less buggy. I built the computer for my friend with Vista 32bits Business for gamer. It's perfect and don't see any single bugs yet.

Only Vista Home Premium and Vista Ultimate use MCE.

There is no bugs free. Mac do have bugs too.

No, it's not worse as Vista does. (Home Basic does got buggy too, also without MC).

I said that Mac has less bugs than Windows, got it, ok...

Congrats. I still can't believe graphics card actually solved the CC issue. Graphics cards are supposed to display what the computer tells them to display. I never liked ATI. I'm a big NVIDIA fan.

Great job troubleshooting and solving the problem.

Sweet!

I use xbox (not 360) as MCE for 42" HDTV LCD. I need to buy parts for that. Crystal Clear X3 Control Panel (Custom no solder LCD, Switch and USB Ports) for Xecuter 3 CE ModChip / ModChipStore.com

It's better than 360 because I can play divx,ISO (from dvd data from Linux server) and old schools games plus low watts than any computers. I spend xbox refurbished for $200 in four years ago. I don't need warranty because it will void warranty when I installed mod-chip so pointless. I spend under $250 for xbox and chip-mod for media center. Nothing beat the price.

Yeah! Topic is about MCE!

 

[deafclimber]

ah that is cool ! i had thought about modding my xbox into xbmc but i decided not to cuz i have too many techies at home so i leave xbox alone. yea i prefer having ISO files for movies. i have a media server with 1.07tb hdds that has over 100 movies in basement. so i use mymovies on xp mce to watch the movie streaming from media server.

do u use xbmc program ? i believe it is very good stuffs for xbox with media center. - XBMC - Xbox Media Center
