Think that's Win32 as well.

I just installed ffdshow on my server box which has covered all my codec requirements for TVersity and streaming to the 360.

I've got the codecs, its just the software that doesn't cope, though its meant as an additional bonus to go with the decoder which is designed to run in WMP. Its DVD decoder is excellent though, as its designed to use the GPU for MPEG2 decoding.

Header -> ribbon cable -> VGA socket.

I don't have the cable (was taken off when the system was built and last I heard it was somewhere in Scotland).

PS - Had a play with various other media portals myself and discovered that most of them look very similar and most of them have similar limitations.

Love the 'it looks like you're fighting a penguin' message.

Now, if only it'd work with Gentoo. Oh, and work with my Nebula card...

I love the fact it works with ubuntu too, people like me need linux for idiots Not totally sure how it installs but as i see it, it doesn't take over the system either, so that means i can leave ubuntu on there making it a totaly viable PC too, no? That would be great too.
