Hi there. I just bought my MVP today at RadioShack for $40! I have been lurking around here for a while. I have some questions. Before I get into the questsions here is my setup:
ASUS P4G8X Deluxe mobo
P4 2.53GHz CPU (512 MB cache)
1 GB RAM
WinXP Pro
Lite On DVD Drive
120GB PATA HHD
nVidia 6800GT with 256MB
I am currently using the Svideo out on the video card to go to my 32" SDTV.
What I want to do is use my MVP to display video (ripped DVDs, etc), music and pictures.
My questions are ...
1 – Do I NEED a capture device to use GBPVR? This isn’t in my current system, but it is part of the future plan.
2 – To use GBPVR as my server, I need to install it on my PC and have it running so that I can use my MVP to view the files, right? Is there an easy way (a batch file in startup?) that could start whatever needs to start?
3 – Are there any special setups in the MVP software to allow GBPVR to be the backend?
4 – Are there any free and simple programs that will convert VOBs to MPEG 2 files so I can play them on the MVP?
I am sure there are some questions I haven’t thought of, but I will be sure to ask.
Thanks.
