Media Center Day Two
Day two with my WD TV HD Media Center has proved very useful in my hard drive cleanup. I now have all of my music on my portable HD synced with the music on the server. I have also gotten all of my movies sorted. I did find one problem with my .mkv (Matroska) files. If the audio is setup with dts surround sound, the audio will only play through the optical audio out. So, if you are going to be using .mkv files with dts surround sound, make sure your system can handle it (through a receiver usually).
The difference in quality of my .avi files and my .mkv files is substantial. The .mkv files are absoultely gorgeous, while many of the .avi files are a little less than the stellar beauties they had once seemed to be. I guess I will need to go through and encode eveything as .mkv files now. Future project.
Media Center
Last night when Josh finally decided that he was fed up with his computer not being fast enough, we went shopping. I of course was happy to tag along. I managed to procure a WD TV HD Media Player.
For $100 I can now play all of the videos, music and photos I have stored on my external HD on my Entertainment center. So far in the first 24 hours, I’m happy with it. HDMI and 1080p output, I’m happy. I’m learning lots of new tricks about it and I am forcing myself to organize my files. I have procrastinated on this particular task a lot. We won’t talk about that. I managed to get all of my videos organized. I realize now that I need to get folder images so that it can display them when I am browsing over the media center.
I am still keeping my archos 605. It still works great and I love that I can access internet video and music streams from it. The media center is strictly for my external hard drive files (which is essentially a backup of the server).
Ooh, I think I need a nap after all of this tech fun.
