i put Vista Ultimate for the OS and play the movies with VLC. i got a logitech wireless keyboard for control.
i have one problem though.. playing last samurai in 1080p res doesn't go as smooth as it should be. i noticed the video freezes over the scenes where there are reflective video/image (reflection of water, bright sun, etc). did i miss anything here? i use VLC.
also, after sometime in using the HTPC, it just turns off by itself. then i have to push the power button again.
is there a doctor in the house?
please help. really need some inputs here. am lost..
