    best HTPC frontend for window 7 based system

    I should also mention XBMC supports a huge majority of the slew of codecs you'd ever use out of the box (no installing codec packs or picking and choosing those you'll need). In this respect it's similar to MPC-HC, but they serve different purposes. Also XBMC doesn't take any more setup time...

    best HTPC frontend for window 7 based system

    I'm a big fan of XBMC. The latest builds support DXVA and their interface is very intuitive and easy to setup. I have tried nearly every comparable HTPC front-end and in my opinion XBMC is a tier above the rest.

    Any way to "fill" screen in mpc-hc or wmp?

    I would do a little more reading on that. Burn in may be possible on LCDs but the chance of you experiencing it are slim to none. I honestly would not worry about it.

    Ok so I switched over to Foobar2000 and...

    I agree. I believe using any form of EQ is a way of making up for inadequacies in audio equipment. On the other hand, if you are happy with the way it sounds that's all that matters.

    Mouse Acceleration in Windows 7

    Turning off 'enhance pointer precision' should disable any mouse acceleration. Are you saying you notice no difference when the option is selected compared to when it is? If that's the case do you have any mouse/keyboard software installed like SetPoint that could be keeping acceleration on?

    Good (Free) AV?

    No, but it's not too difficult to check the file for an identical match to the legitimate installer.

    Good (Free) AV?

    Exactly. Microsoft may not be offering it up for download right now, probably because they don't feel they need any more beta testers, but regardless it isn't really going to hurt Microsoft to have a few extra testers who acquire their virus solution through legitimate or illegitimate torrent sites.

    Good (Free) AV?

    They wouldn't be cracked versions of MSE. Why would they need to crack it when it's free?

    WinRar vs 7zip

    If I remember correctly they offered full versions free with the start of the latest release (maybe it was the 64-bit version?). They only gave away a small number for a limited time. Maybe a year or so ago?

    CCCP vs VLC

    The only thing you need is MPC-HC, you shouldn't need anything else at all to play typical videos. To use DXVA with MPC-HC you need to use EVR or EVR Custom under Playback/Output in the options of MPC-HC. To see if MPC-HC is using DXVA press Ctrl+J during video playback and it will tell you if...

    Call Of Juarez: Bound in Blood Released

    I don't understand the complaints about the voice acting. Just like the first I thought the voice acting was very good and there wasn't one voice over in game that made me think "This sounds terrible." To each his own I guess.

    Thanks for saying it so I didn't have to. The game looks and runs great, and is fun as shit so far.
